Juventus preview: Unbeaten in last nine
Juventus needed a stoppage-time equaliser to maintain their unbeaten run when they played host to Bologna at the weekend.
The visitors opened the scoring in the first half and doubled their advantage early in the second but Teun Koopmeiners reduced the deficit to one goal just after the hour mark and young forward Samuel-Germain Mbangula scored a dramatic equaliser in stoppage-time to make the final scoreline 2-2.
Juve could be without the likes of Andrea Cambiaso, Weston McKennie, Juan Cabal, Douglas Luiz, Nicolas Gonzalez, Bremer and Arkadiusz Milik for the clash with Man City this week.
Predicted lineup: Perin (GK), Danilo, Kalulu, Cambiaso, Gatti, Locatelli, Koopmeiners, Weah, Fagioli, Vlahovic & Conceicao

Man City preview: Just one win in last nine
Manchester City fans might have thought that their side's disappointing run of results had come to an end with the 3-0 win over Nottingham Forest but Pep Guardiola's men struggled at Selhurst Park on Saturday.
Crystal Palace took the lead early on but Erling Haaland equalised on the half-hour mark. However, the hosts restored their one-goal advantage in the 56th minute and it took a rare goal from Rico Lewis for the Citizens to equalise for a second time. The very same player picked up his second yellow card of the game six minutes from time and City had to settle for a 2-2 draw in the end.
Defenders Manuel Akanji, Nathan Ake and John Stones could miss the trip to Italy this week, while midfielders Phil Foden and Mateo Kovacic are also doubts for the game.
Predicted lineup: Ortega (GK), Walker, Dias, Gvardiol, Lewis, Gundogan, De Bruyne, Silva, Nunes, Haaland & Savinho

Player to watch: Dusan Vlahovic
Dusan Vlahovic has been in good form for Juventus this season and while he didn't score at the weekend, the Serbian did provide the assist for Juve's dramatic equaliser against Bologna.
Vlahovic has scored six times in Serie A this season, twice in the Coppa Italia and three times in the Champions League, so the Manchester City defence are going to have to keep a close eye on the 24-year-old.
Juve's Serbian striker has 11 goals in all competitions
The Juve frontman is due a goal this week after failing to score in each of his last four fixtures since netting in the 1-1 draw with Lille.
