The top two in Serie A go head-to-head in Turin on Saturday night – here is how UK viewers can watch the action unfold.

This weekend represents arguably Juventus’ toughest domestic test of the season so far as the Old Lady aim to win their sixth Serie A title in a row.

Roma travel to Turin knowing a win will bring them to within a point of their rivals, and they are in good form; Monday night’s 1-0 win over Milan was their third victory in a row.

The hosts, however, have an imposing home record to fall back on. Juve have lost just once at the Juventus Stadium since the start of the 2013/14 season, and have won all eight of their home matches this season.

The Key Battle – Miralem Pjanic vs Radja Nainggolan

Pjanic spent five successful seasons in the Italian capital before a big-money move to the champions this summer, and faces his former club for the first time this weekend with five goals to his name for his new employers.

He will be up against his old teammate Nainggolan, who netted Roma’s winner against Milan and will provide Pjanic with a tough battle in the middle of the park.

Last Meeting:

A goal 13 minutes from time by Paulo Dybala separated these two sides when they last met in January.

Roma have not won any of their last six visits to Juve, with their last victory at the home of the champions coming back in 2010.
