PSV
PSV are not only unable to call upon Ricardo Pepi, who has been ruled out for the remainder of the campaign with a serious knee injury, but fellow Americans Sergino Dest and Malik Tillman are also long-term absentees.
Furthermore, full-backs Rick Karsdorp and Olivier Boscagli - the latter of whom has been sidelined since picking up a muscular injury against Liverpool - are unlikely to play either.
Mauro Junior, Richard Ledezma and Manchester United loanee Tyrell Malacia will therefore vie for selection again; meanwhile, top scorer Luuk de Jong leads the line up front.
With main marksman Dusan Vlahovic out of favour, Juve's attack should be led by Randal Kolo Muani. The France forward has scored five goals in as many games since joining on loan from Paris Saint-Germain, becoming the first man to net five in his first three Serie A appearances this century.
PSV Eindhoven possible starting lineup:
Benitez; Ledezma, Flamingo, Obispo, Junior; Schouten, Veerman; Bakayoko, Saibari, Perisic; De Jong
Juventus
Never afraid to tinker - even with a winning team - Thiago Motta may make changes on Wednesday, with Manuel Locatelli, Kenan Yildiz and fit-again full-back Andrea Cambiaso fronting a queue for promotion from the bench.
Bremer, Juan Cabal and Arkadiusz Milik are all out of action for the long term, while Pierre Kalulu is still unavailable and Douglas Luiz continues to struggle with a thigh problem.
Juventus possible starting lineup:
Di Gregorio; Weah, Gatti, Veiga, Cambiaso; Thuram, Locatelli; Gonzalez, McKennie, Yildiz; Kolo Muani
Prediction: PSV Eindhoven 2-2 Juventus (Juventus win 4-3 on aggregate)
