Juventus completed the signing of Moise Kean this summer to add to their attacking options for the season. The 21-year-old struggled in the Premier League, but his potential is not to be underestimated. He is regarded as one of Italy's most promising youngsters, and can be lethal on his day.

After injuries to Alvaro Morata and Paulo Dybala, Allegri might start Kean up front against Chelsea. That gives Kean a great chance to show his potential against the champions of Europe and prove his worth.

It won't be an easy task coming up against Chelsea who have one of the meanest defences in the game at the moment. But Kean should relish this opportunity as he looks for consistent game time at Juventus.


#2 Romelu Lukaku (Chelsea)

The Belgian striker finally got his move back to Stamford Bridge, and it is safe to say that he is enjoying it.

Romelu Lukaku has scored three league goals for Chelsea already. He also scored the winner against Zenit St. Petersburg to help the Blues start their Champions League defence on a winning note. Lukaku has shown his finishing skills, strength and clever movement in the box already during his short time at the Blues.

The 28-year-old has played against Juventus in the last few seasons and knows what he'll be up against. If Chelsea find the back of the net against Juventus, Lukaku is likely to be involved in some way. Tuchel will hope that his big summer signing stamps his authority in this key Group H encounter.

#1 Federico Chiesa (Juventus)

Juventus' Federico Chiesa will be another player to watch out for against Chelsea. The Bianconeri have made one of their worst starts to a season in six decades. But Chiesa has been one of their very few positives during this period.

After his amazing performance in Italy's Euro 2020-winning campaign, Chiesa has become the focal point of the Juventus side. With Cristiano Ronaldo moving to Manchester United, Chiesa has the opportunity to become the face of the club, alongside Dybala.

With Moise Kean in the box, Chiesa's accurate and low crosses could hurt Chelsea if they slip up. The Blues will have to be extra cautious of the 23-year-old, as his attacking threat could well determine the outcome of the game.
