No fixture raises Fiorentina fans' ire quite like Juventus, who have a nasty habit of pinching their best players and winning titles with them. It's fitting, therefore, that three points at Stadio Artemio Franchi today would catapult Juve to the top of the league, and that their main goal threats, Dusan Vlahovic and Juan Cuadrado, were once favorite sons of the Curva Fiesole. Read on to find out how to get a Fiorentina vs Juventus live stream and watch Serie A online from anywhere.
Giacomo Bonaventura and Alfred Duncan were the heroes when Fiorentina beat Juve 2-0 at the end of last season, but Vincenzo Italiano is unable to field either of them for today's clash. Sofyan Amrabat and Antonín Barák come into midfield in their places, and Pietro Terracciano gets the nod over Pierluigi Gollini in goal.
Wojciech Szczęsny's injury means Max Allegri also has to rotate his goalkeepers, but the real eye-catching new is the decision to rest Vlahovic ahead of the big Champions League tie against PSG next week. Juve still have plenty of firepower though, with Cuadrado, Arkadiusz Milik, Angel Di Maria and Filip Kostić forming a front four that's unfamiliar but dripping with menace.

When the Viola scored three in a thrilling opening day victory over Cremonese, few would have envisaged the goal drought that would follow. They've failed to find the back of the net in three straight fixtures, though they kept clean sheets in two of them, including one against high-flying Napoli.
Despite the dry spell, Luka Jovic looks a real presence in the box, while Riccardo Sottil has been dangerous cutting in from the left flank. Allegri's side returned to winning ways against Spezia in midweek, and Fiorentina might want to avoid giving away cheap fouls around the edge of the area, the part of the pitch now commonly referred to as Vlahovic territory.
The former Viola man has thumped home two free-kicks and leads the Serie A charts with four goals in four games. However, he starts this one on the bench, alongside Leonardo Bonucci, who's in line for a return after a short spell on the sidelines.
