Juventus need to get back on track in the Champions League away to impressive Lille, so Dusan Vlahovic is supported by Francisco Conceicao and Kenan Yildiz.
It kicks off at the Stade Pierre Mauroy at 20.00 GMT.
You can follow all the build-up and action as it happens from this game, Real Madrid-Milan and Bologna-Monaco on the Liveblog.
The Bianconeri had won their first two European fixtures, only to suffer a surprise 1-0 home defeat to VfB Stuttgart.
Danilo was sent off in that match and is therefore suspended, though Michele Di Gregorio returns from his ban in goal.
Nico Gonzalez, Gleison Bremer and Arkadiusz Milik are still on the treatment table.
Teun Koopmeiners has shaken off a rib injury to start in the supporting trio with Conceicao and Yildiz behind Vlahovic.
