Massimiliano Allegri is finally ready to show the jewels of the Old Lady’s crown. Both Miralem Pjanic and Gonzalo Higuain are set to start their first official game with the bianconeri against Sassuolo today.

Former Chelsea winger Juan Cuadrado has been called for the game, though he’s not likely to start againt the neroverdi who will be without injured Domenico Berardi.

Allegri is set to deploy a 3-5-2 system with Medhi Benatia starting in place of Andrea Barzagli and Stephan Lichtsteinter on the right flank. Mario Lemina might replace Sami Khedira in the middle of the pitch as Allegri wants to preserve the German for the following two big games against Sevilla in the Champions League and Inter in Serie A next week.
