Hello and welcome to our LIVE coverage of Palermo against Juventus in Serie A at Stadio Renzo Barbera, where Juventus head coach Antonio Conte returns to the touchline four months after he was suspended from football for an alleged role in match-fixing.

Asamoah makes his presence felt in the corner to win a corner. Pirlo swings it over but Von Bergen rises to head clear for another corner, which is headed clear. Iličić is in with a chance of leading a counter but Lichtsteiner comes to meet him. They both jump but there is a clash of heads. With blood on show the referee blows up.

Pirlo stretches but gets to a ball to release Matri. Ujkani is off his line to clear, though. Great keeping.

Juve are struggling to get their wide players into the game thus far. For the hosts, Donati is stepping into midfield to make up the numbers.

Muñoz’s ball over the top is a little too predictable and Bonucci steps out to launch clear.

Matri and Vucinic look a little lost up front at the moment – that’s about the third time already that a Vucinic ball over the top has had too much on it and Matri looks a little frustrated.

Two loose clearances, first from Barzagli and then Bonucci gives the ball straight back to Palermo. Barreto lifts the ball over the Juventus defence and Miccoli fires the ball into the far corner on the volley from an acute angle but it is disallowed for offisde. Marginal.

A loose ball from Barreto brings a decent spot of possession to an end and Chiellini brings it forward. The ball is worked to Lichtsteiner on the right, whose cross is cleared by Von Bergen.

Miccoli breaks quickly down the right, cuts inside and then finds Iličić, who, on the turn and roughly on the penalty spot, has a shot blocked by Barzagli.

Kurtić with a fine strike from distance but Buffon sees it all the way to punch clear.

Great intensity out there from the Bianconeri – Marchisio gets to the ball before Barreto but then over-runs it for a throw.

Barreto makes a burst into the box but Chiellini is there to meet him before Marchisio smashes clear. Bit of a scramble in the box and the referee blows for a back pass but Matri kindly informs him that he in fact touched it last. Great sportsmanship.

Chiellini is down injured after a 50-50 ball.

Pirlo swings it in but Chiellini is beaten to it. The hosts break but Iličić is ushered off the ball by Bonucci.

Juve have made a strong start here - they work the ball well down the right until Pirlo draws a foul from Morganella on the edge of the box.

Pirlo whips a teasingly, dangerous corner that Bonucci just can’t get his head to. Great delivery.

And we're underway - the Bianconeri fans fill two thirds of the stadium.

The players are in the tunnel and we're moments away from kick-off.

Palermo have won 4 of their last 6 games against Juventus- but the two losses have come in the last two fixtures.

Palermo: Ujkani, Muñoz, Donati, Von Bergen, Pisano, Morganella, Barreto, Kurtić , Garcia, Iličić, Miccoli. Subs: Benussi, Cetto, Viola, Dybala, Bertolo, Milanovic, Zahavi, Giorgi, Labrin, Budan, Arevalo Rios, Brienza. /// Juventus: Buffon, Barzagli, Bonucci, Chiellini, Lichtsteiner, Vidal, Pirlo, Marchisio, Asamoah, Matri, Vucinic. Subs: Storari, Rubinho, De Ceglie, Padoin, Pogba, Giaccherini, Quagliarella, Bendtner.

Giorgio Chiellini, who pulled up injured at the Donbass Arena in the Champions League, is fit enough to start. Sebastian Giovinco is suspended, so Mirko Vucinic leads the line with Matri in behind.

With Abel Hernandez continuing to recover from a serious leg injury, Gian Piero Gasperini looks likely to elect to start ex-Juve striker Fabrizio Miccoli.
