Team News: Andrea Pirlo returns for Juventus against Roma

Andrea Pirlo has returned to the Juventus starting lineup for this evening's top-of-the-table clash against Roma.

The 35-year-old has been out injured for the past six weeks, but starts in the midfield alongside Claudio Marchisio and Paul Pogba.

Carlos Tevez and Fernando Llorente continue to lead the attack, but Arturo Vidal has to settle for a place on the bench.

Jose Holebas is preferred to Ashley Cole at full-back, while goalkeeper Lukasz Skorupski continues to deputise for the injured Morgan De Sanctis.
