On Wednesday, Juventus will host Manchester City in the Champions League in Turin.

Both Pep Guardiola’s side and the Old Lady have eight points after five games, and they’re in 17th and 19th place respectively. The two teams are still in contention to finish in the top eight and this tie is crucial to achieve it.

Tuttosport state Thiago Motta could be handed an injury boost to face Manchester City.

Juventus summer signing Douglas Luiz has been sidelined with an injury since October and would be in contention to face the Premier League winners.
