Good evening and welcome to live text commentary from Serie A as Palermo host Juventus at the Stadio Renzo Barbera.

Melo brings Juve forward but Krasic loses out and Palermo can break.

Palermo are happy to hang onto the ball in defence. And Juve are happy for them to have it there. Marchisio takes a cute pass from Del Piero on the edge of the box and looks to feed Krasic on the right but it goes out for a throw.

Melo, onto Marchisio then further wide to Matri but the new signing's cross is overhit and goes out.

Javier Pastore has set up, as expected, just behind the front two. He's such a special talent that Juve will have to watch him tonight.

Milos Krasic is going to be key for the visitors tonight. Del Piero gets wide on the left but can't craft a corner.

Bacinovic instantly forces a corner on the right in the opening seconds for Palermo. It's cleared by Melo then Migliaccio blazes over. Goal kick.

Palermo kick us off and underway from left to right.

Kick-off is next...

Alessandro Matri makes the starting line up for Juve tonight after his loan move from Cagliari was completed.

Team news to follow...

Juventus will be pleased that February has come around after a dismal January. Luigi Del Neri's side recorded a single win, draw and three loses - including a 4-1 thrashing at the hands of Parma.

It's a real mid-table scrap this evening as the Old Lady travels to Palermo in a bid to get it's Champions League quest back on track.
