Juventus v AC Milan: Preview
Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri expects his former club AC Milan to provide his title-chasing team with a stern test in Turin on Saturday.
The Rossoneri have won just one of their last six Serie A games and are eighth in the standings, 21 points adrift of league leaders Juve.
``This is always a tough game because it's still Juve versus Milan,'' Allegri told the Italian media on Friday. ``We face a team that won its last game.
``Although they struggled in January, Milan did really well in December, beating Napoli and holding Roma a to a draw.
``Milan have also made good signings during the winter transfer market, bringing in four international players, (Alessio) Cerci, (Mattia) Destro, (Luca) Antonelli and (Gabriel) Paletta.
``I think that Milan is a team built to fight for a European place and tomorrow it will be far from easy.''
Juve have enjoyed a strong campaign under Allegri, who was sacked by Milan just 13 months ago.
The Turin giants are unbeaten at home in Serie A and last weekend's goalless draw at Udinese left the Bianconeri firmly on course for their fourth-straight scudetto.
Juve are seven points clear of nearest rivals Roma.
``The season is still very long and I expect Roma to fight until the end for the scudetto,'' Allegri said. ``We haven't achieved anything yet and we need to understand that.''
Last weekend's 3-1 triumph against Parma halted a five-match winless streak for Milan and eased the pressure on coach Filippo Inzaghi.
``From now on, we must show the same determination we displayed against Parma,'' Inzaghi said. ``I want to thank our club president (Silvio Berlusconi) for the new reinforcements.
``They are all talented and are hungry to succeed.
``It''s up to us now to deliver.''
The Rossoneri are still without eight injured players while defender Philippe Mexes and Italian striker Destro are both suspended.
Serie A's top scorer Carlos Tevez will lead Juve's attack alongside Fernando Llorente.
Juve are without defender Stephan Lichtsteiner, who must serve a one-match ban, while recent signing Alessandro Matri is out with a muscular problem.

Juventus open 10-point lead in Serie A with win over AC Milan
Juventus pulled 10 points clear of Serie A title rivals Roma with a convincing 3-1 victory over AC Milan.
Despite their inconsistent form, the Rossoneri certainly have the potential to match Juve and the league leaders made sure to put them in their place early on through a goal from Carlos Tevez.
Recent signing Luca Antonelli pegged the reigning champions back ever so briefly but Leonardo Bonucci's strike gave Juve the confidence to push on and consolidate the win through Alvaro Morata.
The fixture was afforded extra spice by the element of revenge on offer as home boss Massimiliano Allegri looked to get the better of the man he suspected was behind his ousting from Milan last year.
And Juve would draw first blood against Filippo Inzaghi's Rossoneri as Tevez notched on 14 minutes.
Alex's poor header in midfield allowed Morata to send the Argentinian through on goal and Diego Lopez could not resist his searing left-footed finish.
The game remained wide open from that point forward and Tevez drew ripples of applause when he whipped a second screamer just past Lopez's far post.
But it was Milan who scored next, with Antonelli opening his account on his debut.
In the 28th minute Alessio Cerci took a corner that found the former Genoa defender and he headed home.
Juve responded immediately but would have to knock twice before re-establishing their lead.
Lopez was at full stretch to tip Claudio Marchisio's low effort around his far post after Sulley Muntari had lost concentration in defence.
From the resulting corner, though, Bonucci converted an easy tap-in.
Milan suffered another setback as in-form French forward Jeremy Menez limped off to be replaced by Giampaolo Pazzini, but they would avoid conceding in embarrassing fashion as Lopez managed to cover Michael Essien's careless backpass in the 41st minute.
Gianluigi Buffon turned on the heroics to deny Pazzini when play resumed -- the former Inter Milan striker had snaffled Antonelli's clever through-ball before being denied.
Juve shrugged off the reaction and extended their lead in the 65th minute.
Marchisio wriggled into enough space to drive a low shot against the far post, and the rebound fell kindly for Morata to steer it into an unguarded net.
The Bianconeri had a fourth goal ruled out for offside. A great attacking raid saw Paul Pogba try his luck with a bicycle kick, yet Morata was in an illegal position as he stuck away the loose ball.
Ninth-placed Milan were deflated but did well to survive another Juve raid which saw Gabriel Paletta anticipate Tevez's movement and Lopez close down Marchisio before he could exploit the chaos.
