Juventus launch a new attacking trio of Lois Openda, Kenan Yildiz and Vasilije Adzic when hosting Atalanta’s Nikola Krstovic, Kamaldeen Sulemana and Lazar Samardzic.
It kicks off at the Allianz Juventus Stadium in Turin at 17.00 UK time (16.00 GMT).

Both these sides are still unbeaten in Serie A so far this season, with tough Champions League tests too.
Juventus have been leaking goals recently, most notably in a 4-3 win over Inter and 4-4 draw with Borussia Dortmund.
Francisco Conceicao, Fabio Miretti and Arek Milik are out of action, but Igor Tudor has been chopping and changing his starting line-ups.
He does it again here, launching Openda with support from Kenan Yildiz and 19-year-old sensation Adzic, who came off the bench to score the winner against Inter and gets his first start.
Pierre Kalulu is pushed into a more advanced role down the right to help protect the defence and Teun Koopmeiners faces his former club, preferred to Manuel Locatelli.

Atalanta had a mixed start to life under new coach Ivan Juric, earning disappointing draws against Pisa and Parma, along with a 4-0 Champions League defeat to Paris Saint-Germain.
There was some positive news from wins over Lecce and Torino with seven goals scored and one conceded in those fixtures.
The injury list is extensive, including Giorgio Scalvini, Isak Hien, Nicola Zalewski, Gianluca Scamacca, Sead Kolasinac and Mitchel Bakker.
Ederson is at least back on the bench with Charles De Ketelaere after their setbacks, but Mario Pasalic moves into midfield, as Lazar Samardzic and Kamaldeen Sulemana support Krstovic.
Curiously, Atalanta are unbeaten in Turin since March 2018, managing five victories and two draws, including a 4-0 domination last season.
