Juventus welcomes in 10th-place Empoli on Friday looking to make up ground in the league table after a string of fairly disastrous results has seen the pressure on Maximiliano Allegri's position at the club mount over recent weeks.
The Old Lady now sits bottom of Group H in the Champions League after losing to PSG and Benfica, plus suffering a shocking loss to Maccabi Haifa last time out. Juventus is now sitting on the brink of elimination in the group, and things haven't gone much better for them domestically either with just two wins from their last six Serie A games overall.
