INTER - JUVENTUS - MATCHDAY 8 Sunday, October 18th, 2015 - 8:45 PM Giuseppe Meazza Stadium - Milan Referee: Paolo Valeri Mario Mandzukic on Juventus bench http://www.sportsmole.co.uk/football/inter-milan/team-news/team-news-mario-mandzukic-on-juventus-bench_253021.html Oct 18, 2015 Mario Mandzukic has been named on the Juventus bench for the Serie A meeting with Inter Milan at the San Siro. Massimiliano Allegri lines up with a 3-5-2 formation as they look to climb into the top half of the table, but it is Simone Zaza who partners Alvaro Morata in attack after the latter recovered from an injury he picked up on international duty with Spain. Patrice Evra and Juan Cuadrado will be used as the wing-backs for the visitors, while Sami Khedira joins Claudio Marchisio and Paul Pogba in the centre of midfield. Inter can go top with a victory and the hosts have received a boost with the return of Stevan Jovetic, who has shaken off a leg injury to join Ivan Perisic in providing support for Mauro Icardi. Geoffrey Kondogbia is forced to settle for a spot on the bench as Gary Medel and Marcelo Brozovic earn starts in midfield. Inter Milan: Handanovic; Santon, Miranda, Murillo, Jesus; Medel, Melo, Brozovic; Perisic, Jovetic, Icardi Subs: Carrizo, Berni, Kondogbia, Palacio, Biabiany, Telles, Guarin, Montoya, Ranocchia, Gnoukouri, D'Ambrosio, Nagatomo, Manaj Juventus: Buffon; Barzagli, Bonucci, Chiellini; Cuadrado, Khedira, Marchisio, Pogba, Evra; Morata, Zaza Subs: Neto, Audero, Hernanes, Alex Sandro, Mandzukic, Lemina, Padoin, Dybala, Asamoah, Rugani, Sturaro, Pereyra http://www.goal.com/en-gb/tables/serie-a/13?ICID=SP_TN_127

INTER - JUVENTUS - MATCHDAY 8 Sunday, October 18th, 2015 - 8:45 PM Giuseppe Meazza Stadium - Milan Referee: Paolo Valeri Are Inter too boring to win Serie A? The Nerazzurri have scored just eight times in their opening seven games, but are their misfiring forwards to blame - or is their a lack of creativity in midfield? http://www.goal.com/en/news/13452/opta/2015/10/18/16387292/are-inter-too-boring-to-win-serie-a?ICID=TP_HN_HP_RI_0_2 Oct 18, 2015 Inter sit second in Serie A, just two points behind leaders Fiorentina, and eight ahead of reigning champions Juventus - yet doubts remain over the Nerazzurri's Scudetto credentials. Indeed, even coach Roberto Mancini admitted ahead of the Derby d'Italia that the Bianconeri, Roma and Napoli are all better-equipped to win the title. Is he right? Well, our Opta stats would certainly suggest that Inter, despite boasting an attack featuring Mauro Icardi, who shared the capocannoniere award with Luca Toni last season, do not score enough goals to finish top of the pile... So, where does the blame lie? Are Inter's midfielders failing to provide enough ammunition for their forwards? Or are the strikers misfiring? Looking at the stats below, Inter's attackers are either afraid to shoot - or simply aren't getting enough sights of goal. Indeed, it seems that Inter just simply are struggling to prise open opposition defences, which would suggest Mancini's midfielders are not on the same wavelength as those in front of them. Still, this is hardly surprising given how many new players the Nerazzurri signed during their summer spending spree. From an attacking perspective, Icardi is the only certain starter who was at San Siro next season, suggesting that Inter simply need more time to gel. Still, even if the goals don't start flowing, it's still possible to win the league with a low-scoring front-line!... http://www.goal.com/en-gb/tables/serie-a/13?ICID=SP_TN_127

INTER - JUVENTUS - MATCHDAY 8 Sunday, October 18th, 2015 - 8:45 PM Giuseppe Meazza Stadium - Milan Referee: Paolo Valeri Line-ups: Inter-Juventus http://www.football-italia.net/74507/line-ups-inter-juventus? Oct 18, 2015 Mauro Icardi, Ivan Perisic and Stevan Jovetic face Alvaro Morata, Simone Zaza and Paul Pogba in the Derby d’Italia. It kicks off at 20.45 CET - 19.45 UK time - 18.45 GMT. Inter are without Adem Ljajic after he picked up an injury on international duty with Serbia, while Stevan Jovetic is not 100 per cent fit either, but still starts. He completes the trident attack with Ivan Perisic and the anti-Juve hitman Mauro Icardi. The return of Joao Miranda and Jeison Murillo in defence means Gary Medel is pushed forward into midfield, benching Geoffrey Kondogbia. Marcelo Brozovic is surprisingly given the nod ahead of Fredy Guarin. As for Juventus, they are without Stephan Lichtsteiner and Martin Caceres. Paul Pogba, Alvaro Morata and Roberto Pereyra all picked up injuries on international duty, but are passed fit. It is the first time Max Allegri has been able to use his first choice midfield with Claudio Marchisio, Sami Khedira and Pogba. Paulo Dybala had been tipped to partner Morata, as Mario Mandzukic is not 100 per cent fit, but Zaza surprisingly won his place instead. Inter: Handanovic; Santon, Miranda, Murillo, Juan Jesus; Medel, Melo, Brozovic; Perisic, Jovetic, Icardi Inter bench: Carrizo, Berni, Kondogbia, Palacio, Biabiany, Telles, Guarin, Montoya, Ranocchia, Gnoukouri, D'Ambrosio, Nagatomo, Manaj Juventus: Buffon; Barzagli, Bonucci, Chiellini; Cuadrado, Khedira, Marchisio, Pogba, Evra; Zaza, Morata Juventus bench: Neto, Audero, Hernanes, Alex Sandro, Mandzukic, Lemina, Padoin, Dybala, Asamoah, Rugani, Sturaro, Pereyra http://www.goal.com/en-gb/tables/serie-a/13?ICID=SP_TN_127

INTER - JUVENTUS - MATCHDAY 8 Sunday, October 18th, 2015 - 8:45 PM Giuseppe Meazza Stadium - Milan Referee: Paolo Valeri Inter-Juventus surprises in store http://www.football-italia.net/74494/inter-juventus-surprises-store? Oct 18, 2015 It’s reported Juventus finally have their first choice midfield, while Inter could start 18-year-old Rey Manaj. The Derby d’Italia kicks off at 20.45 CET - 19.45 UK time (18.45 GMT). With only a few hours until the big game at San Siro, there are some surprising rumours circulating about the line-ups. Inter are without Adem Ljajic after he picked up an injury on international duty with Serbia, while Stevan Jovetic is not 100 per cent fit either. With this in mind, Roberto Mancini is believed to be considering a debut Serie A start for 18-year-old striker Manaj. He hit the headlines this week after insulting Albania Coach Gianni De Biasi via Facebook, then apologising for a “misunderstanding.” He’d complete the trident attack with Ivan Perisic and the anti-Juve hitman Mauro Icardi. The return of Joao Miranda and Jeison Murillo in defence means Gary Medel is pushed forward into midfield, benching Geoffrey Kondogbia. As for Juventus, they are without Stephan Lichtsteiner and Martin Caceres. Paul Pogba, Alvaro Morata and Roberto Pereyra all picked up injuries on international duty, but should be passed fit to start tonight. It would be the first time Max Allegri has been able to use his first choice midfield with Claudio Marchisio, Sami Khedira and Pogba. Paulo Dybala is tipped to partner Morata, as Mario Mandzukic is not 100 per cent fit. Inter: Handanovic; Santon, Murillo, Miranda, Juan Jesus; Guarin, Felipe Melo, Medel; Perisic; Icardi, Manaj Juventus: Buffon; Barzagli, Bonucci, Chiellini; Cuadrado, Khedira, Hernanes, Pogba, Evra; Dybala, Morata http://www.goal.com/en-gb/tables/serie-a/13?ICID=SP_TN_127

INTER - JUVENTUS - MATCHDAY 8 Sunday, October 18th, 2015 - 8:45 PM Giuseppe Meazza Stadium - Milan Referee: Paolo Valeri Milito: 'Inter Beat Juventus' http://www.football-italia.net/74486/milito-inter-beat-juventus? Oct 18, 2015 Diego Milito trusts Inter can beat Juventus and take the Scudetto with Mauro Icardi “following in my footsteps.” The Derby d’Italia kicks off tonight at 20.45 CET - 19.45 UK time (18.45 GMT). “I hope that Inter win and in my view that can do it,” Milito told the Corriere dello Sport newspaper. “They had a great start to the season and are fighting to win the Scudetto. I’ll be watching from home and cheering on the Nerazzurri. “They’ve signed great players, including experienced elements and talented youngsters. Joao Miranda and Jeison Murillo are so good in defence.” Icardi is continuing the tradition of Argentine strikers at Inter and has even been made captain. “Mauro did very well last season, he’s young, but can be a reference point for the present and future. He is a very strong forward and has the potential to do even better. “I hope he can follow in my footsteps. Inter are a great club with an important history and I hope they’ll soon get back to lifting trophies, thanks also to Mauro’s goals. “The games against Juventus and Milan are special for Inter players and fans. I’ve scored in both those fixtures and I hope Mauro can continue his positive streak against Juve.” Inter haven’t beaten Juventus home or away since 2010, when Milito bagged a brace. “That was a fantastic win, an unforgettable moment for many reasons. First of all nobody had yet won at the Juventus Stadium and then it allowed us to go within a point of first place. “I didn’t expect to see Juve so far behind this season, but they still have a great squad. After last year, when they almost won the Treble, it was inevitable changes had to be made, but if you lose Carlos Tevez, Arturo Vidal and Andrea Pirlo simultaneously… “Inter-Juve will be tough for both sides, but I am convinced Inter will put in a great performance and, after winning the Derby della Madonnina, can win the Derby d’Italia too.” http://www.goal.com/en-gb/tables/serie-a/13?ICID=SP_TN_127

INTER - JUVENTUS - MATCHDAY 8 Sunday, October 18th, 2015 - 8:45 PM Giuseppe Meazza Stadium - Milan Referee: Paolo Valeri Rossi: 'Juve last chance saloon' http://www.football-italia.net/74484/rossi-juve-last-chance-saloon? Oct 18, 2015 Paolo Rossi thinks tonight’s trip to Inter “is the last chance saloon” for Juventus, but he tips Napoli and Fiorentina for the title. The former Juve and Italy striker spoke to the Corriere dello Sport ahead of tonight’s Derby d’Italia. “It is difficult to make a prediction, though Stevan Jovetic and Paulo Dybala should be the most decisive players,” said Rossi. “I did sort of expect Juventus to have a difficult start, as they needed time to get into gear. I think it’s right to give Max Allegri the time to work. “Having said that, they absolutely cannot get it wrong against Inter. It’s basically a last chance saloon for Juve. “The Bianconeri are starting to heal, though subconsciously perhaps winning four consecutive titles weighed psychologically on them. “As for the Scudetto, I don’t think Inter and Juventus have too many chances. Napoli and Fiorentina seem like the favourites, then Roma.” http://www.goal.com/en-gb/tables/serie-a/13?ICID=SP_TN_127

INTER - JUVENTUS - MATCHDAY 8 Sunday, October 18th, 2015 - 8:45 PM Giuseppe Meazza Stadium - Milan Referee: Paolo Valeri Mancini Defeating Juventus Would Give Inter Belief http://forzaitalianfootball.com/2015/10/mancini-defeating-juventus-would-give-inter-belief/? Oct 18, 2015 Inter coach Roberto Mancini believes a victory against Juventus would give them confidence for the rest of the season. The Nerazzurri host the reigning Serie A champions on Sunday night in the Derby d’Italia where they will hope to leapfrog Fiorentina at the top of the table, who Mancini thinks are currently favourites for the title in a closely fought competition. “The favourite at the moment is Fiorentina,” the 50-year-old said during a pre-match press conference. “We are second, but we are happy. “I see it as very balanced, especially at the moment when there are so many teams on form. “The strong teams will all be back soon fighting for the title. “We want to stay ahead and fight until the end for the top of the standings.” The Italian tactician then moved on to the game on Sunday, saying collecting all three points would give the team a boost. “It will be a very complicated game,” he said. “A win would give us great enthusiasm. “A win against Juventus would give us the belief that we can do well.” http://www.goal.com/en-gb/tables/serie-a/13?ICID=SP_TN_127

INTER - JUVENTUS - MATCHDAY 8 Sunday, October 18th, 2015 - 8:45 PM Giuseppe Meazza Stadium - Milan Referee: Paolo Valeri Allegri Says Juventus Don’t Fear Inter Ahead Of Derby D’Italia Clash http://forzaitalianfootball.com/2015/10/allegri-says-juventus-dont-fear-inter-ahead-of-derby-ditalia-clash/? Oct 18, 2015 Before the first Derby d’Italia of the season, Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri admitted that Inter were the current favourites for the Scudetto, but promised that Juventus were ready for the challenge. Despite the fact that Juventus trail league leaders by 10 points ahead of Sunday evening’s trip to the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza, Allegri insists defeat would not spell the end for their title ambitions. “This is not a knockout round, nor will it be decisive for the Scudetto,” he said at his press conference. “Inter is a team we respect, but we do not fear them. “The plan is to be in the running for the title in March and reaching that period in the best form,” the coach added. While the Bianconeri coach said he was happy to have Claudio Marchisio return, he said there was still uncertainty about Alvaro Morata, Paul Pogba, and Martin Caceres, who all picked up injuries on international duty, as well as Mario Mandzukic and Paulo Dybala. “I have to evaluate everyone’s condition as there are some internationals who haven’t fully recovered,” added the Juventus coach. “Having everyone at my disposal means I can allow some rest to those who have played more. “Let’s not forget we play every three days for the next month, and Wednesday’s match against Borussia Monchengladbach could decide our Champions League progress.” http://www.goal.com/en-gb/tables/serie-a/13?ICID=SP_TN_127

INTER - JUVENTUS - MATCHDAY 8 Sunday, October 18th, 2015 - 8:45 PM Giuseppe Meazza Stadium - Milan Referee: Paolo Valeri Cruz: 'Icardi continue Juve curse' http://www.football-italia.net/74476/cruz-icardi-continue-juve-curse? Oct 18, 2015 Julio Cruz tips Mauro Icardi to net against Juventus today and believes Inter can win the Scudetto. The Derby d’Italia kicks off at 20.45 CET - 19.45 UK time (18.45 GMT). “I scored against Juve and beat them many times. The Bianconeri really brought me luck,” ex-Inter striker Cruz told La giornalaccio rosa dello Sport. “Inter hadn’t won in Turin for 10 years and it seemed like a curse, but then I scored a free kick at the Stadio Delle Alpi in 2003. Gigi Buffon was in goal and I decided to aim for the near post. It turned into this perfect curler that nobody was expecting. “We won 3-1 that day and I got a brace. The joy I felt was just incredible.” Cruz has a good track record against Juventus, but so does Icardi, netting six times in just five meetings. “Icardi is a great hitman and netting against Juve makes you an idol for the Inter fans. He wears the same number 9 shirt that I had and is flying the flag for Argentinean forwards at the club. I really like him.” The Nerazzurri won the opening five rounds, but then picked up one point from two games, so can they win the Scudetto? “With Roberto Mancini’s return they revolutionised the squad. Roberto is a great Coach, his arrival the first time changed our mentality and Inter got back to winning the title. His greatest talent is understanding what the players need. “Inter have started strong and feel more relaxed, but watch out for Roma and Lazio. It’s strange to see Juve so far down the table. It’s a long tournament, but it is also difficult to make up so much lost ground.” http://www.goal.com/en-gb/tables/serie-a/13?ICID=SP_TN_127

INTER - JUVENTUS - MATCHDAY 8 Sunday, October 18th, 2015 - 8:45 PM Giuseppe Meazza Stadium - Milan Referee: Paolo Valeri Best of enemies: Kondogbia vs Pogba The midfield duo have played together at every age grade for France but, on Sunday, they will go head to head in a crucial Derby d'Italia clash between Inter and Juventus. http://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/3276/serie-a/2015/10/18/16431932/-? Oct 18, 2015 "Paul is like a brother to me - but for 90 minutes this weekend, we’ll be enemies.” Geoffrey Kondogbia has made it clear that he will go through anyone, even his good friend Paul Pogba, in order to ensure that Inter defeat Juventus in Sunday’s Derby d’Italia at San Siro. Actions speak louder than words, of course, but there is no denying that this is a key battle in Kondogbia’s fledgling Inter career and one that he has to win. Pogba is also under pressure to perform. He has started the season poorly, but even at 22 he has already proven himself the dominant midfielder in Italian football. The feeling in Turin is that he has simply struggled with the weight of not only wearing the iconic No.10 jersey vacated by Carlos Tevez, but also carrying a Juve midfield shorn of the services of Andrea Pirlo, Arturo Vidal and Claudio Marchisio. Pirlo and Vidal both left for pastures new during the summer, but the good news from Juve’s perspective is that Marchisio is finally fit after suffering two separate injuries already this season and his anticipated return to the starting line-up for the trip to Milan is, according to former Juventus and Inter ace Marco Tardelli, hugely significant. "Pogba has not played as he has done in the past for one simple reason: he no longer has Pirlo beside him," the World Cup winner told Tuttosport during the week. "And being without Andrea is difficult for anyone. "Andrea was an example to Pogba. In my opinion, [Juventus coach Massimiliano] Allegri must put a player alongside him and that can be Marchisio. "Then, Paul must free his mind. The No.10 jersey has weighed heavily on his shoulders during this difficult start to the season. If he can manage not to think about the shirt on his back, he will return to the level of before." Kondogbia's situation is less clear-cut. Unlike his good friend Pogba, whom he shared a room with during France's triumphant Under-20 World Cup campaign in 2013, he does not have credit in the bank. Indeed, the feeling is that Kondogbia is indebted to Inter, who paid €35 million to sign him from Monaco this summer. They are looking for a big return on their considerable investment - and yet have not seen any dividends thus far. Kondogbia enjoyed an encouraging debut against Atalanta but bar a decent derby against Milan and an influential display against Chievo, he has struggled to play with any great consistency. He certainly has not looked anything like the player that drove Monaco on their surprise run to the quarter-finals of last season's Champions League. He is winning less tackles (1.43 per game in Serie A compared to 2.68 during his final campaign in Ligue 1) and making fewer interceptions (0.57 as opposed to an average of 2.48 last term). Whereas Pogba has conveyed the impression of a man who has taken on too much responsibility, seemingly trying to fill the voids left by Vidal, Pirlo and Marchisio all at once, as well as being confused by Allegri's constant system-changing, Kondogbia seems to be struggling with the basics. Repeatedly caught in possession, he has been unable to build any momentum as an attacking force, meaning there have been no assists, no driving runs. As Mancini admitted, "Kondogbia has to better understand Italian football," the Nerazzurri boss told Sky Sport Italia. "He takes too many touches and is not used to playing in such tight spaces… but it's only a matter of time for him. I remain convinced that he will do well." Mancini’s continued faith in Kondogbia is essential. Right now, the Nemours native is being compared unfavourably with his fellow France international Pogba, who is actually a month younger. Pogba arrived in Turin at just 19 and took Serie A by storm. Indeed, so instantaneous was his impact that, by the midway point of his debut campaign, former Juventus coach Antonio Conte had started experimenting with his formation in order to accommodate the teenage sensation. By contrast, Kondogbia’s place in the Inter starting line-up is already under scrutiny, given fellow midfielders Gary Medel and Felipe Melo have provided the grit and energy that have made up for a collective lack of creativity during the opening seven rounds of the season. By contrast, Kondogbia’s place in the Inter starting line-up is already under scrutiny, given fellow midfielders Gary Medel and Felipe Melo have provided the grit and energy that have made up for a collective lack of creativity during the opening seven rounds of the season. However, Mancini is unlikely to drop Kondogbia as it was he who persuaded the former Lens starlet to choose Inter over AC Milan. Indeed, a phone call from Mancini had been key in Kondogbia's decision to pick the blue half of the city of over the red. "It is true that I chose Inter for the coach and I always wanted to play in this league," Kondogbia admitted shortly after his arrival at San Siro. "It is important to improve even more and gaining Mancini's confidence is really important to me." It is now time, though, that Kondogbia starts repaying that confidence – and his lofty transfer fee. Sunday at San Siro would be the perfect place to start. The only trouble is that Pogba is not just a great friend, he's also a formidable foe. http://www.goal.com/en-gb/tables/serie-a/13?ICID=SP_TN_127

INTER - JUVENTUS - MATCHDAY 8 Sunday, October 18th, 2015 - 8:45 PM Giuseppe Meazza Stadium - Milan Referee: Paolo Valeri Juventus vs. Inter Milan Preview: Round 8 — Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back http://www.blackwhitereadallover.com/2015/10/17/9453157/inter-milan-juventus-2015-serie-a-round-8-derby-d-italia-preview-team-news-schedule Oct 17, 2015 It probably won't take a science degree to figure out that Juventus' final two games before the previous international break went a lot better than the first time around this season. It's part of the reason why Juventus aren't exactly considered 'relegation zone inhabitants' like they were for the first month of the season. Ah, but here's the thing: Juventus aren't suddenly fixed or out of this early-season funk for good. At least, that's what we're going to continue to think until they're ripping off wins galore before the next international break arrives and proceeds to bore the hell out of us all. The start of that objective comes Sunday. And woooooo boy could it be a doozy between arguably the most-hated club in many of our respective minds. Juventus vs. Inter brings lots of thoughts to the brain, but not many of us expected the actual second-place team in Serie A to be in second place and the other one to be 10 spots behind. Maybe flipped, but not the way things are coming out of the international break. Juventus is still in 12th place. But they certainly don't have the talent of a mid-table club. Nah, not even close to that. And this, for all intents and purposes, is not just Juve's latest chance to right the wrongs of the first few weeks of the season. It's also the chance to show many a folk that this Juve team can more than hold its own against a club that some are tipping to be in the title run until the very end. And what better way to show you're still the team to beat than to beat the team that's currently sitting in second place? There's no denying that Inter have been talking a big game throughout the week. And, judging by how confident they are, nothing would be more enjoyable than Juventus strolling into the San Siro, raising a little hell over the course of 90 minutes and coming away with three points. You know, kinda like what they did last season. I think Álvaro is a fan of that, too. GOOD NEWS JUVENTUS BACK JUVENTUS BACK BAD NEWS Post-international break injury roll call! Martín Cáceres Stephan Lichtsteiner Stupid injuries. WHAT TO WATCH FOR 1. Claudio Marchisio's impact. We've already been over this in a little more detail, but now that the Derby d'Italia is almost here, we can talk about it a little more. Marchisio is officially part of the 23-man traveling squad for tomorrow's match, which is something we haven't seen much at all so far this season. But now he's back in the fold, which should sound celebratory horns from all the masses! (Or not, but it's definitely good news.) Everybody is expecting Marchisio, Sami Khedira and Paul Pogba to hold down the center of the park. That would mean for the first time this season the anticipated midfield we envisioned back in August. Marchisio's presence will clearly be a very important one knowing how Juve's midfield has been hit and miss this season. Just the simple fact that he's there would mean everything is now falling into place in terms of who Max Allegri can now depend on. And when it comes to relying on Marchisio to do good things, that's not exactly a bad thing. 2. Can Juventus contain Mauro Icardi? Ah, this guy. This freaking guy who lives to score goals against Juventus. It seems like it's been tradition as of late — whenever Inter does score a goal against Juventus, it's Icardi doing the damage. You can make a big deal about Inter's summer signings all you want, but when it comes to who Juventus' defense needs to keep quite a few tabs on, it's most certainly Icardi and his propensity to score goals in the derby. He might not be off to the greatest of starts to the season, scoring two goals in six starts, but we've come to know that the reason to worry about Icardi is there. That's even more the case when he's playing against Juventus. Inter will be charged up to prove not only that they can beat Juve, but that this second-place standing entering the weekend is the real deal. And you know for a fact that if that does happen, Icardi could very well play a large part in it. 3. Can Paulo Dybala and Álvaro Morata continue to produce good things? Mario Mandzukic may be back in the match day squad, but all signs point toward Juventus' young guns started alongside one another yet again on Sunday against Inter. That's the way it should be, too, considering how their rapport seems to be growing in recent games. (Nothing against you, Mario, I promise.) Both Morata and Dybala are coming off busy international breaks, though, with the former suffering a bone bruise in Spain's first game a week ago. The official diagnosis was day-to-day, and Allegri said at his pre-match press conference that he still needs time to truly decide if Morata is ready. But when it comes to those in the Italian press predicting Juventus' starting lineup for the Derby d'Italia, they all think the young Spaniard will be in there. So, there's that, and the fact that he's playing pretty darn well right now. 4. Felipe Melo vs. his former club. There may not be a more perfect match out of all the summer signings this season. Felipe Melo, a player who seemingly lived to annoy us all during his two years with Juventus, signing for a club whose sole existence is pretty much piss us off. Melo will obviously be a little more jacked up than usual considering who he will be playing against. It will be one of those "Let's show em!!" kind of deals that every player goes through at some point. But with Melo, you never know. He's such a wild card — both in terms of his play and his emotions. The good thing is that Juventus' midfield is completely healthy, which is something we haven't been able to say all season. So no matter if Melo is lining up across from Khedira or Pogba, it's going to be an interesting and noteworthy matchup. Same goes for a lot of individual battles in the derby this time around. My starting XI (3-5-2): Gianluigi Buffon; Andrea Barzagli, Leonardo Bonucci, Giorgio Chiellini; Juan Cuadrado, Sami Khedira, Claudio Marchisio, Paul Pogba, Patrice Evra; Álvaro Morata, Paulo Dybala http://www.goal.com/en-gb/tables/serie-a/13?ICID=SP_TN_127
