Team News: Mario Mandzukic on Juventus bench

Mario Mandzukic has been named on the Juventus bench for the Serie A meeting with Inter Milan at the San Siro this evening.

Massimiliano Allegri lines up with a 3-5-2 formation as they look to climb into the top half of the table, but it is Simone Zaza who partners Alvaro Morata in attack after the latter recovered from an injury he picked up on international duty with Spain.

Patrice Evra and Juan Cuadrado will be used as the wing-backs for the visitors, while Sami Khedira joins Claudio Marchisio and Paul Pogba in the centre of midfield.

Inter can go top with a victory and the hosts have received a boost with the return of Stevan Jovetic, who has shaken off a leg injury to join Ivan Perisic in providing support for Mauro Icardi.

Geoffrey Kondogbia is forced to settle for a spot on the bench as Gary Medel and Marcelo Brozovic earn starts in midfield.

Inter Milan: Handanovic; Santon, Miranda, Murillo, Jesus; Medel, Melo, Brozovic; Perisic, Jovetic, Icardi Subs: Carrizo, Berni, Kondogbia, Palacio, Biabiany, Telles, Guarin, Montoya, Ranocchia, Gnoukouri, D'Ambrosio, Nagatomo, Manaj
