The Bianconeri have dropped to sixth place in Serie A despite winning two of the last three rounds, beating Milan and 10-man Empoli, but also suffered a painful defeat to Napoli.

Thiago Motta is still trying to find a regular starting XI and his ideas were further shaken up by the January transfer window, where Kolo Muani and Renato Veiga are already first choices.

Lloyd Kelly is on the Juventus bench for the first time since his deadline day move from Newcastle United, but Andrea Cambiaso, Pierre Kalulu, Arek Milik, Gleison Bremer and Juan Cabal remain injured.

Having used Teun Koopmeiners as a trequartista for six months, Thiago Motta now switches him to midfield, with McKennie taking over the role instead.

Como were the most active Serie A side in the January window, changing a huge number of players for coach Fabregas, but are also coming off back-to-back defeats.

Alieu Fadera starts a two-match ban, with Sergi Roberto, Alberto Moreno, Dele Alli, Alessandro Gabrielloni, Daniele Baselli, Marc Oliver Kempf and new buys Ivan Azon and Mergim Vojvoda out of action.

As Ignace van der Brempt is not at 100 per cent, defender Ivan Smolcic is thrown straight into the starting XI.

Como: Butez; Smolcic, Goldaniga, Dossena, Valle; Perrone, Da Cunha; Strefezza, Paz, Diao; Cutrone

Juventus: Di Gregorio; Weah, Gatti, Renato Veiga, Savona; Koopmeiners, Locatelli; Nico Gonzalez, McKennie, Yildiz; Kolo Muani
