Serie A official Week 21 line-ups: Cagliari vs. Juventus

Juventus put themselves in the Scudetto race with a surge of form and have Kenan Yildiz available despite flu with Jonathan David against Semih Kilicsoy’s Cagliari.

It kicks off at the Unipol Domus stadium at 19.45 GMT (20.45 CET).

You can follow all the build-up and action as it happens from today’s three Serie A games on the Liveblog.

The Bianconeri have won five of their last six Serie A games, interrupted only by a 1-1 home draw with Lecce, and are fresh off a 5-0 demolition of Cremonese.

There had been some doubts over Kenan Yildiz this week, but he shrugged off flu symptoms and is ready to start with David and Fabio Miretti, plus Weston McKennie in that more advanced role.

Francisco Conceicao and Federico Gatti return to the squad, but are not 100 per cent fit, with Dusan Vlahovic, Daniele Rugani and Arek Milik still out of action.

Manuel Locatelli is on a yellow card, so some thought he’d be rested ahead of next week’s showdown with Napoli, but instead it is Khephren Thuram who drops to the bench for Teun Koopmeiners.

Cagliari have scraped one point from the last three games, a comeback 2-2 draw away to Cremonese, and are fresh off Monday’s 3-0 defeat to Genoa.

Coach Fabio Pisacane reshuffles his tactics again, returning to three at the back, especially as veteran Yerry Mina is back from injury.

Michael Folorunsho, Alessandro Deiola, Andrea Belotti and Mattia Felici are out of action, with Gabriele Zappa a late injury concern.

It is an all-Turkish talent battle tonight, as facing off against Kenan Yildiz is Semih Kilicsoy, who scored two goals in his last five games.

He is partnered by Sebastiano Esposito and Gianluca Gaetano, with Atalanta-owned Marco Palestra attacking wide right.

Cagliari: Caprile; Ze Pedro, Mina, Luperto; Palestra, Gaetano, Adopo, Mazzitelli, Obert; Kilicsoy, S Esposito

Juventus: Perin; Kalulu, Bremer, Kelly, Cambiaso; Locatelli, Koopmeiners; McKennie, Miretti, Yildiz; David
