Juventus-Livorno
Stadio Delle Alpi

Juventus entertain Livorno this weekend with a view to getting their season back on track. The Bianconeri lost their last outing to Milan at the San Siro and, although they still hold a two-point lead at the top of the table, it is imperative that they bounce back against their Tuscan opponents. Roberto Donadoni’s side have been in good form so far this term and are currently performing well above expectation in fifth place.

Juve head into the game with no new injury worries, with long-term absentees Alessandro Birindelli, Gigi Buffon and Jonathon Zebina unlikely to return anytime soon. Coach Fabio Capello may look to recall Alessandro Del Piero after a poor showing by Zlatan Ibrahimovic against Milan, but other than that is likely to be an unchanged side from last weekend.

Livorno’s only injury worry is also a headache for Juventus, as the player in question is Raffaele Palladino – currently on loan at the Amaranto from the Turin club. Nikola Lazetic is likely to step in for the youngster. Last term at the Stadio Delle Alpi, Juventus were 4-2 victors in an entertaining match, but either side would sacrifice entertainment just to take home the three points on this occasion.

Juventus (probable): Chimenti; Pessotto, Thuram, Cannavaro, Zambrotta; Camoranesi, Emerson, Vieira, Nedved; Trezeguet, Ibrahimovic

Livorno (probable): Amelia; Grandoni, Vargas, Galante; Cesar Prates, Morrone, Passoni, De Ascentis, Coco; Lazetic; Lucarelli

Id like to see the three man D used again, just to see if the players can adapt to it better.

if our team adapts to that system i think we'll be able to score like crazy. its all a matter of our defenders playing solidly all the time, no excuses

[ASG]

i agree.
btw i didnt know Livorno is 5th place looks like its going to be good game

Cristiano Lucarelli is confident that Livorno can continue their extraordinary campaign by shocking Juventus at the Stadio Delle Alpi.

“We are not going to Turin with the attitude of a team that is resigned to defeat,” assured the reigning Capocannoniere. “We went to San Siro to face Inter with that approach and were hammered for it.”

Lucarelli was suspended for that 5-0 drubbing in Milan and is eager to bring his passion and belief to his teammates as they take on the Serie A leaders.

“I say we should play open and attacking football. After all, if we lose in Turin then nobody can hold that against us, but a positive result really would be a bonus.”

Livorno are currently in fifth place, but local lad Lucarelli wants to take a major scalp after picking up wins against the mid-table sides.

“In these two top flight seasons, we haven’t really had a prestigious away victory against one of the giants. I think there is everything we need to get a good result in Turin, but then of course we could just concede eight goals instead…”

we've done it. we won 3-0 with goals from Ibra min 59, trezegol min 60 and Del Piero min 90
