Pretty much everyone who plays for AS Roma is either injured or suspended, so Luis Enrique has been forced to make his team look... well, weird. How weird? Daniele de Rossi is starting at centre half alongside Gabriel Heinze, which sounds like a red card waiting to happen if not for the fact that everyone feels sorry for Roma right now.
Juventus Vs. AS Roma, 2011 Serie A: Lineups
Juventus won't feel particularly sorry for their opponents. They're one of only two teams in top-flight European leagues who are yet to taste a defeat, and they won't be particularly inclined to give it up to 11th place Roma at home. It'll be interesting to see how the under-strength visitors cope with many's pick for the Scudetto, because this looks like something of a trial by fire.
Juventus lineup (4-3-3): Gianluigi Buffon; Giorgio Chiellini, Andrea Barzagli, Leonardo Bonucci, Stephan Lichtsteiner; Arturo Vidal, Andrea Pirlo, Claudio Marchisio; Marcelo Estigarribia, Alessandro Matri, Simone Pepe.
AS Roma lineup (4-3-3): Maarten Stekelenburg; Rodrigo Taddei, Daniele de Rossi, Gabriel Heinze, Jose Angel; Miralem Pjanic, Federico Viviani, Leandro Greco; Erik Lamela, Francesco Totti, Pablo Osvaldo.
