Good evening all and welcome to our LIVE coverage of the Serie A clash between Juventus and Udinese from the Juventus Stadium.

There are a number of school children in the crowd tonight following an initiative from Juventus. Two stands had originally been closed for this game, but it was decided that children could still be admitted by the club.

But once again, the set-piece from the away side is poor and Juve are able to soon clear the danger.

Basta does well to win a corner for Udinese...

That was a let-off for Juventus there as Di Natale was clear of the defence and just one-on-one with Buffon.

A real chance for Udinese as Di Natale tries to chip Buffon after stealing the ball from Bonucci, but the goalkeeper gets a touch on the strike and Barzagli is able to clear it off the line.

Fernandes tries to play in Di Natale, but the striker is offside. He has looked very isolated so far for Udinese tonight.

Some desperate defending from Udinese sees them eventually clear the ball from their area after about four Juve players all struggled to bring the ball under control inside the box.

The answer is no as Gabriel Silva picks up the ball following a short corner but his delivery is very poor and sails out for a throw-in.

Udinese win a corner. Can they create anything here?

Vidal picks the ball up in space on the edge of the box for Juventus. He takes aim at goal from distance but his effort sails high and wide.

It is starting to look like a matter of when Juve will score now, not if. And that man Tevez in particular has been at the centre of all they have creatd so far.

Tevez comes forward down the left for the home team and whips a cross into the box. He tries to find Llorente but Brkic gets there first to punch clear.

Juve pile forward once again. This time Vidal breaks free from his man, but Gabriel Silva arrives to make an important challenge.

Juve starting to dominate this game now. Udinese very much defending deep and playing on the counter-attack.

That was a vital touch there from Danilo as it looked like Tevez's shot might be creeping in otherwise.

Barzagli picks out Llorente with a fine pass. The striker, with his back to goal, tees up Tevez but the Argentine sees his shot deflected just wide of the post by Danilo.

A long ball needlessly given away by Udinese there. They are in for a long night if they produce too many more of those.

Basta picks up the ball on the right for Udinese and tries to find Fernandes in the box. He puts too much on the cross though and it sails out for a goal kick.

That is a real blow for Juventus. But in the in-form Pogba, they have a very good replacement.

Pirlo has been unable to recover from that earlier challenge and has been forced off. Pogba comes on to replace the Italian.

Juve probing Udinese's defence as Tevez tries to play a neat one-two with Llorente but he is unable to pick up the return pass from the Spain international.
