CAM: Aaron Ramsey

Juve chose to leave Aaron Ramsey out of Wednesday’s Coppa Italia match to avoid any injury risk, but that move was certainly made with the intention of having him start against Parma. As long as Ramsey stays healthy this spot is his to lose. He does have some competition for the job now after Douglas Costa (who has injury issues of his own) played well against Udinese, but I think

Ramsey’s attacking ability will be plenty to keep him in this spot for the foreseeable future.

ST: Cristiano Ronaldo

After missing Wednesday’s match because of sinusitis, Cristiano Ronaldo will return to his war path through Serie A on Sunday. He ended the first rotation through the league with a goal in each of his last six matches in the league and tallied 9 goals and an assist during that stretch. Now he’ll look to make Parma his 7th consecutive victim and continue to catch up to Ciro Immobile in the Capocannoniere race.

ST: Paulo Dybala

Paulo Dybala has absolutely taken over the last 2 matches for Juventus. Against Roma, he sent in the free kick that created the opportunity for Demiral’s goal. Then he drew the penalty for Ronaldo’s goal. He followed that match up with a demolition of Udinese’s defense that including a fantastic assist to Gonzalo Higuain, an incredible curling finish over the Udinese keeper, and a perfectly struck penalty. I expect him to be subbed off at some point in this match for Higuain because it just seems to be a guarantee that no matter which one of the two starts, both end up appearing, but there’s no way Dybala will be taken out of the starting lineup while he’s playing this well.
