FW Cristiano Ronaldo

Speaking of the former Real Madrid man, Cristiano Ronaldo is a lock to start, as always. Ronaldo was quiet against Milan earlier this season, though he did work hard for the team. And he is currently the man of the hour for Juventus after scoring two late goals against Udinese. He won a penalty off a free kick to set up a perfect penalty, and he then converted with his head after a great cross from Adrien Rabiot. Ronaldo will be going up against one of Serie A’s best center back pairings in veteran Simon Kjaer and youngster Fikayo Tomori, and he’ll be hungry to add to his league-leading tally.

FW Alvaro Morata

Initially, it seemed like Paulo Dybala would start again next to Ronaldo, but it now seems like Juventus will go in another direction with Alvaro Morata. The Spanish international has made the team better in the attack when he is on the pitch, and he has outperformed Dybala lately. La Joya has looked rusty since returning from injury, though he did score that vital goal off the bench vs. Napoli. Morata’s link-up play and ability to set up Ronaldo are important to Juve, and he could be an important facilitator in the final third for the Bianconeri this Sunday.
