Luciano Spalletti is expected to name two of his summer signings in the Juventus starting XI to take on Frosinone away from home on Sunday evening as the Bianconeri get their 2026-27 Serie A season underway.
This is Juve's first competitive outing of the 2026-27 season, but not for the newly-promoted Frosinone, who beat Juve Stabia in the first round of the Coppa Italia last weekend.
Massimiliano Alvini is expected to name a similar line-up to the one that beat Juve Stabia last time out, including a potentially untouched front three of Antonio Raimondo, Fares Ghedjemis and Giorgi Kvernadze. Alessio Zerbin is also in contention to start in attack.
Juventus, meanwhile, are expected to go with new no.1 Guglielmo Vicario in goal along with his former Tottenham teammate Randal Kolo Muani at centre-forward. Kerim Alajbegovic and Zeki Celik are likely to start from the bench.

According to the latest updates from Sky Sport transfer expert Gianluca Di Marzio, Nkunku has recently agreed to the idea of returning to Leipzig this summer, which is considered a crucial step in the talks between the Frenchman, Milan and the Bundesliga club.

Milan have reportedly set a €35m price-tag on Christopher Nkunku, with interest primarily from Roma, RB Leipzig and Borussia Dortmund.
The Rossoneri effectively confirmed that he is not part of their vision for this season, as he was one of several players not just cut from the squad for today's friendly with Manchester United, but even excluded from training with their teammates.
Nkunku was frozen out along with Youssouf Fofana, Fikayo Tomori, and David Odogu.

SYDNEY, Aug 14 (Reuters) - Leaders from some of Australia's biggest companies, including major banks Macquarie Group and Westpac, will face questioning from lawmakers on Friday as part of ‌a probe into accounting firm KPMG's alleged misuse of client data to win audit ‌contracts.
Macquarie's chairman and chief financial officer, and Westpac's audit committee chair have been summoned before the committee, which will also hear from telecoms provider Optus' CEO and the chair of property firm Dexus.
The day-long parliamentary hearing is the second to be called since whistleblower accusations that KPMG's staff used inside information to win lucrative audit contracts came to light in March.
Macquarie, Westpac, Optus and Dexus are all companies caught up in the ‌alleged misconduct by KPMG's senior ⁠audit partners.
While KPMG initially said the allegations were unsubstantiated, the scandal has since led to the resignations of the firm's CEO, audit boss and chairman.

Lazio have reportedly asked for Davide Frattesi on loan, but Inter still hope Nottingham Forest will buy the midfielder outright, so they can reinvest in Liverpool's Curtis Jones.
The Nerazzurri risk losing out on so many transfer targets this summer because they must sell before they can bring in any new players, and that is proving to be extremely difficult.

However, ***** ody seems prepared to pay the €30m asking price for the Italy international.

Juventus are taking on Palermo in Perth, Australia on Tuesday, which kicks off at 11.00 BST (12.00 CET).

Ruben Amorim outlines where he saw 'improvements' in Milan's 1-1 draw with Inter, warning they need to 'keep more possession,' and treating Rafael Leao 'the same way' as others.
The Rossoneri had gone behind in Perth to a Federico Dimarco goal, with Pervis Estupinan struggling to deal with defending down their left flank.
Christopher Nkunku drew contact with Carlos Augusto and converted the soft penalty to equalise, sealing the 1-1 result of this unusual Australian Derby della Madonnina.

A soft Christopher Nkunku penalty cancelled out the Federico Dimarco opener, as Inter and Milan drew 1-1 in a pre-season friendly in Perth.
There were several initiatives before kick-off to remember iconic Rossoneri captain Franco Baresi, including a minute's silence with all the players united around his jersey, and the Milan players wearing his Number 6 shirt. Play also halted at the sixth minute for a further moment of remembrance.

Francesco Camarda and Davide Bartesaghi both somehow failed to get the crucial touch on a Samuel Chukwueze cross at the back post, then Yunus Musah fired into the upright of a practically open goal on the Ruben Loftus-Cheek pull-back.
Francesco Pio Esposito's acrobatic volley forced a tricky save, as did Piotr Zielinski's flick from 12 yards.

It's easy, when thinking of the derby di Milano, to close your eyes and relive its history by turning the pages of memories written on the San Siro pitch a ritual shaped over 118 years of encounters that have forged one of the most famous and captivating rivalries in football history.Memories that have defined eras and spanned generations of supporters, stories passed down through the colours of each club, moments made immortal by those who witnessed them. The derby has always been all of this: the occasion when the city comes to a standstill, when the electricity in the air is unmistakable, the day when the rivalry between Inter and AC Milan reaches its peak, as the two sides battle it out on the San Siro turf for ninety unforgettable minutes.Yet the story of the derby extends far beyond the walls of the Meazza. The rivalry between Inter and AC Milan has long since outgrown the boundaries of Milan, becoming international and global. The Nerazzurri and the Rossoneri have conquered the world, and over the years the Derby della Madonnina has gained new chapters written far from San Siro. Fittingly, the very first Derby was not even played in Milano: the earliest documented meeting between the two clubs took place in Chiasso on 19 October 1908, with AC Milan running out 2-1 winners thanks to goals from Lana and Payer, while Forlano scored for Inter.That thread linking Milano to the rest of the world will gain another chapter on Wednesday 5 August, when Inter and AC Milan meet in a friendly at Optus Stadium in Perth, Australia. The fixture continues a tradition that began more than a century ago and provides the perfect opportunity to revisit every Derby played outside Italy, from competitive fixtures to friendlies, tracing the journey of Milano's greatest rivalry far beyond its home city.
Goals: 12' Mazzola (I), 13' Rognoni (M), 26' Mazzola (I), 27' Rig. Rivera (M), 40' Combin (M), 44' Combin (M), 45' Jair (I), 46' Anquilletti (M), 51' Rognoni (M), 84' Bedin.
The first Derby played abroad after the inaugural meeting in Chiasso saw the Nerazzurri and Rossoneri cross the Atlantic, with New York's Yankee Stadium hosting a friendly between AC Milan and Inter on 29 June 1969. Both sides had just enjoyed a decade at the summit of European football, with AC Milan having equalled Inter's tally of two European Cups only a month earlier. The match proved to be a spectacular affair, treating the large Italian-American crowd to a goal-filled contest. AC Milan led 4-3 at half-time, having twice come from behind after Sandro Mazzola's brace before taking the lead through Pierre Combin's two goals. The Rossoneri pulled further clear after the break with strikes from Angelo Anquilletti and Rognoni, before Gianfranco Bedin's late effort completed the scoring in a thrilling 6-4 encounter.
Goals: 4' and 75' Milito (I)
The derby returned overseas on 27 July 2009, once again in the United States, forty years after the meeting in New York. This time, the Gillette Sta
