Juventus
Juventus are unlikely to have Martin Caceres available as he nurses a knocks, while Sami Khedira has been training away from the main group over the last week and Hernanes is suspended having been sent off in their last Champions League outing.
Patrice Evra has recovered from a knock and is included in the squad.
Juan Cuadrado may miss out on a starting berth for the second game in succession with Stephan Lichtsteiner likely to get the nod. Juventus could revert to a 3-5-2 formation here.
Manchester City
Manchester City will be without Wilfried Bony and Samir Nasri for the trip to Italy and Manuel Pellegrini has confirmed David Silva, Vincent Kompany, Eliaquim Mangala and Pablo Zabaleta will also not travelled.
This means that Martin Demichelis will continue at the heart of their defence and Bacary Sagna at right-back, despite admitting he was still troubled by the events in Paris.

Prediction
Manuel Pellegrini will be looking for a response from his side after they were thrashed 4-1 by Liverpool at the weekend, but the City boss would have been hoping for kinder opposition to do so. Juventus are still looking to find a solution to their indifferent form, but are still an incredibly difficult to beat in Europe. They've drawn their last two Champions League matches but know a win over City will all but confirm their status as group winners.
Juventus are unbeaten in 15 home matches in the Champions League and look good to preserve that run when they encounter Pellegrini's stuttering City side.
