Manchester City XI (4-3-3): Hart; Sagna, Demichellis, Otamendi, Clichy; Toure, Fernandinho, Fernando; Navas, Agüero, De Bruyne.
Juventus XI (3-5-2): Buffon; Barzagli, Bonucci, Chiellini; Lichtsteiner, Sturaro, Marchisio, Pogba, Alex Sandro; Dybala, Mandzukic.
Official team news to follow!
Juan Cuadrado, meanwhile, will drop out for Stephan Lichtsteiner as Allegri reverts to a 3-5-2.
Mario Mandzukic, according to FootballItalia, will feature in lieu of Alvaro Morata.
Manchester City possible starting XI: Hart; Zabaleta, Otamendi, Mangala, Kolarov; Toure, Fernandinho; Navas, De Bruyne, Sterling; Agüero.
Wilfried Bony will also miss the trip after he limped off at Villa Park before the international hiatus while Samir Nasri is scheduled to return in February after going under the knife to correct a hamstring problem.
David Silva has been sidelined for the majority of the campaign and will miss the trip to Turin though City, should Vincent Kompany remain fit, are doutbless favourites to claim the title.
Generally, though, Pellegrini's side have been in dazzling form this campaign, with Kevin De Bruyne, Raheem Sterling and Sergio Agüero showing promise as a potent attacking trident.
Pellegrini remarked that his focus remains firmly on the task at hand and, despite the Citzens having assured of qualification in Seville, the Chilean will be searching for a response from his players having ceded their grip atop the Premier League table to Leicester City.
City, meanwhile, will be seeking to atone for their ignominous 4-1 defeat to the hands of Liverpool at the weekend.
Juventus possible starting XI: Buffon; Lichtsteiner, Bonucci, Barzagli, Alex Sandro; Pogba, Sturaro, Marchisio; Cuadrado; Morata, Dybala.
Patrice Evra, meanwhile, limped off on Saturday and may be replaced in the starting line-up by Alex Sandro.
Granted, the Brazilian has yet to fulfill his promise in Juve colours but with Roberto Pereyra also sidelined, Paul Pogba and Claudio Marchisio will be forced to shoulder greater burden in midfield.
Injuries, though, have beset the Bianconeri throughout the campaign and news that Hernanes, who arrived from Inter on deadline day, will miss up to three weeks of action would have disheartened the Italian.
Allegri described the weekend's victory as a "step in the right direction" a few could disagree. Juve may have been anaemic during stretches but at no point did the Rossoneri look like piercing through Buffon's goal.
Three victories on the spin since they were downed by Sassuolo on a wet Wednesday evening, Dybala has netted in each having struck a thunderbolt past Marco Sportiello against Atalanta before netting the Old Lady's third in their triumph at Empoli.
Paulo Dybala netted the decisive strike on Saturday evening and it has been the Argentine, a €32 million recruit from Palermo, that has shone brightest for the Bianconeri this season.
Languishing outside the Champions League spots in Serie A, the Old Lady began the campaign sluggishly but have begun to show signs of life after their recent 1-0 victory over bitter-rivals Milan.
The Old Lady, after claiming their fourth successive Scudetti while reaching the final of the Champions League in Allegri's maiden campaign, have struggled to rekindle the defensive parsimony that characterised their previous successes.
Juve found themselves behind to the Foales and it is a theme that has suffused throughout the campaign.
Stephan Lichtsteiner netted that evening in Germany and should line-up at right-back this evening. The Swiss underwent heart surgery last month and such is the indomitable nature of the right-back -- affectionaly known as "Forrest Gump" around the Juve dressing room -- that his performance levels have not markedly plumetted.
Juventus, meanwhile, were held at Borussia Monchengladbach, though it was a result that quietly pleased Juve boss Max Allegri after Hernanes was dismissed for a hare-brained challenge shortly after the interval.
Manchester City stamped their tickets to the knockout stages of the competition with a comprehensive 3-1 win in Seville last time out.
