Turin hasn't seen Champions League football in far too long, but now Juventus Stadium welcomes back Europe's premier competition. Having managed to snatch an away draw at the home of the defending champions, Juve are on a high, but to maintain that they'll need to beat Group E leaders Shakhtar Donetsk. With the dangerous Henrikh Mkhitaryan pulling the strings in midfield, Juve are going to have to be at their best to earn all three points here.
