Juve will look to continue their fine start to the season (AP)

Serie A leaders Juventus welcome Roma to Turin as the first of three games for Massimiliano Allegri's side in the next seven days before the winter break.

Juventus find themselves 22 points above Roma in the table, and their home draw to Genoa remains the only blemish on their otherwise perfect league record this season.

Eusebio Di Francesco's team meanwhile have lost all of their previous seven visits to the stadium and have won just twice in their last eight league games, the latest of which came against Genoa last weekend.

Player to watch…

Cristiano Ronaldo: The Portuguese decided the Turin derby in favour of his side with a well-taken penalty against Torino last weekend. It was his 12th goal in all competitions since joining the club from Real Madrid in the summer, and ensured that Juventus ground out a victory despite a lacklustre performance to extend their lead over second-placed Napoli to 11 points.

5 min: Juventus 0-0 Roma

That's sloppy from Rodrigo Bentancur, who loses out to Zaniolo, but Nzonzi fires his teammate's lay-off over the bar.

9 min: Juventus 0-0 Roma

What a save from Olsen! Bentancur's long-range effort deflects off Mandzukic into the path of Alex Sandro.

The Brazilian looks set to celebrate his new contract with a goal here, but the Swede gets down well to his left to parry the shot.

14 min: Juventus 0-0 Roma

Roma have settled a little since the early scares and have managed to contain Juventus slightly better.

The hosts still enjoying the majority of possession though.

19 min: Juventus 0-0 Roma

Bit of frustration coming from both sets of players.

First Cengiz Under, who is said to be a target for Arsenal, complains after what he saw as a clear foul on him by Matuidi.

Cristiano Ronaldo similarly is left in shock with the referee's decision not to award a free-kick for a tug on the shirt.

Alex Sandro however continues his good start to the game, forcing a save from Olsen at his near post and then a block from Manolas from the resulting corner.

21 min: Juventus 0-0 Roma

Juventus certainly pose a threat going forward, but so do the visitors. This time it is Patrick Schick who rolls his defender, but his shot is tame and easily collected low by Szczesny.

23 min: Juventus 0-0 Roma

We saw Gareth Bale try one in the Club World Cup final, and now it's time for his former teammate to have a go.

Kostas Manolas makes a mess of clearing Mandzukic's header, and Ronaldo attempts to recreate his overhead kick against Juventus in the Champions League last season, but fires over the bar.

27 min: Juventus 0-0 Roma

Signs of a frustrated crowd already here at the Allianz Stadium, and it is understandable given their start to the season.

The latest attack breaks down after Ronaldo, of all people, takes a heavy touch and allows Davide Santon to clear.

30 min: Juventus 0-0 Roma

Legends on and off the field here at the Allianz Stadium. The Juve fans led a tribute to Claudio Marchisio before kick-off, while Francesco Totti is also in the stands to see his old side in action.

32 min: Juventus 0-0 Roma

Juve have just lost that spark in their play in the last five minutes or so. 

Roma have as a consequence grown in confidence and Cengiz Under in particular looks to be a threat. 

Alex Sandro has yet another effort meanwhile, but it poses no danger to Olsen's goal.

34 min: Juventus 0-0 Roma

Another fine save from Olsen! The Swede this time extends himself to get to Ronaldo's shot after the Portuguese was given far too much time by the Roma defence.
