87'
D. D'Ambrosio gets yellow.
D'Ambrosio finally gets a card after a succession of poor challenges.
Into the final minutes and most would have been shocked with the scoreline at this stage of the game. Juventus have had chances, or at least Mandzukic has but it's just not fallen for them just yet. Inter have tried to break on the counter but the lack of service into Icardi was a huge problem.
86'
Éder enters the game and replaces M. Icardi.
A disappointing night for Icardi ends as Eder comes on for the final few minutes.
85'
R. Bentancur enters the game and replaces M. Pjanić.

Pjanić is hauled off for Rodrigo Colmán.
82'
Mandzukic is left lying on the ground in disbelief as he chests it down in the box and the whole stadium waits in anticipation but he slips and falls flat on his face.
79'
Higuain gets played in on the edge of the box but he leans back and smashes the ball into the stands.
76'
The end-to-end flow has stopped slightly but there's still a feeling we could get a late winner in Turin.
75'
P. Dybala enters the game and replaces S. Khedira.
Allegri is going for it as he brings off Khedira for Paulo Dybala.
72'
Despite seeing Juve clear the danger from the corner, Inter stay on the edge of the box and they have two chances to open the scoring. The first is blocked but the second is over the bar as Skriniar tries to volley into the far corner. Not the ideal candidate to try and score when you are desperate to take the lead.

Description
71'
Asamoah nearly opens the scoring with a stinging drive from outside the area but Handanovic pushes it clear and Inter counter and win a corner.
69'
R. Gagliardini enters the game and replaces A. Candreva.
Candreva has been very quiet so Spalletti brings on Roberto Gagliardini in his place.
68'
A teasing cross from the left forces Handanovic to come out and punch but he can only tee up Khedira. The midfielder skims it off the deck but it takes a deflection and misses the far post by inches.
67'
After a lively start in this second-half, the tempo has dropped but the one positive is Cuadrado's performance. He is everywhere at the moment and he could be the man to break the deadlock.
63'
Dalbert Henrique enters the game and replaces D. Santon.
Santon limps off and on comes Dalbert Henrique.
61'
D. Santon gets yellow.
The game has passed Davide Santon by so far. He finally bursts into life but it is only to kick Cuadrado and his technique is that bad that he has hurt himself.
60'
GREAT SAVE - Handanovic has been a busy boy in the first 15 minutes of the second-half and he denies Cuadrado. The winger peels away from his marker to head towards goal but the Inter keeper tips it over. From the corner, Mandzukic has another go but it's the same outcome and the scoreline remains at 0-0.
58'
Higuain scuffs his shot from the edge of the area to give Handanovic an easy pick up but that's now both he and Icardi who have had attempts in the last few minutes. Maybe a sign the game is starting to open up...
56'
Penalty claims from Icardi as he finally gets a shot off from inside the area but Juve block his effort at source and we move on.
54'
This game could be labelled as Mandzukic vs Inter so far as he tries yet again to open the scoring. A majestic bit of skill from Higuain gets him to the edge of the box before Inter dispossess him and Mandzukic picks up the pieces but he can only shoot straight down the through of Handanovic.
52'
This might not be Manduzkic's night as he once again finds space at the far post but he never looks comfortable and Handanovic can pounce onto the loose ball.
51'
This game may need a spark off the bench. Both teams have bags of talent on the sidelines and it may just take a fresh set of legs to open the scoring.
47'
Early stages of the second-half but Inter have started with a little bit more momentum.
46'
We're back underway in Turin.

36'
Juventus win a free-kick on the left wing and it's a dangerous set-piece for Inter to defend but the whistle goes before the ball reaches the box. Matuidi appeared to push Milan Skriniar and now Inter can clear from the back.
35'
Juventus have started to get a little sloppy while in possession and they will need to watch out as Inter are doing their best to counter attack.
32'
Ivan Perisic has been quiet so far in this grudge match and he wastes his first opportunity to get involved. He stays onside and latches onto a through ball but he gets caught in two minds and instead of crossing he tries to shoot and can only give away a goal kick.
29'
M. Brozović gets yellow.
Chiellini is on fire at the minute. Inter work down the right with Antonio Candreva and his driven cross looks destined for an Inter shirt but that's before the long left leg of Chiellini claws it away. Superb defending!
Marcelo Brozovic decides to copy Benatia with a silly challenge and he joins him in the book.
27'

Yellow card for Medhi Benatia after a stupid tackle inside the Inter half. Mauro Icardi drops deep to receive the ball and he is smashed into by Benatia and the referee has no choice.

24'
Inter record their first effort on goal as Brozovic tries to curl into the top corner but Szczesny is able to bring into his hands but that's something to build on for the visitors.
23'
A superb interception from Chiellini denies Inter their first shooting opportunity. Inter's Marcelo Brozovic splits the Juve midfield with a great through ball but Chiellini slides across the box to clear and we remain at 0-0.
21'
Inter are still being forced to play in their own half, the minute they go forward they lose out as centre-back Girogio Chiellini continues to mop up any of the loose balls.
18'
The pace of the game has not dropped yet either but Inter need to start winning the midfield battle before Juventus get comfortable in front of their own fans.
16'
Tactically this is interesting as both sets of players continue to cancel each other out. The main chance fell to Manduzkic and Inter are yet to put any pressure on Juve goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny inside the first 15 minutes.
13'
Miralem Pjanic calls rank and tries to curl it across goal and past Handanovic but he gets it all wrong and his effort flies past the far post.
11'
Juventus win a free-kick just outside the box after Cuarado is chopped down by Borja Valero. The Colombia international is still down and he requires treatment before the game can resume.
8'
HUGE CHANCE for Juventus but somehow the ball is kept out by Inter. Juan Cuadrado's cross loops over the head of two Inter defenders and Mandzukic has two attempts at scoring. The first is blocked by Handanovic before a header is cleared off the line by defender Joao Miranda.
7'
Inter have started the game better than their title rivals but their passing isn't on point just yet. However, Spalletti's men are looking very confident and looking to keep the ball on the floor.
4'
Juve star Sami Khedira goes down holding his shin after both he and Matias Vecino charge into each other in the middle of the park. No treatment is necessary and the Inter man could count himself unlucky there.
3'
Inter right-back Danilo D'Ambrosio flies in on Mario Manduzkic and we have our first free-kick of the evening. It's deep in Juve's half so a simple pass is suffice.
2'
The atmosphere seems to have made a difference after some nervous touches from Inter and goalkeeper Samir Handanovic is trying to calm his defenders down in the early stages.
1'
Inter get the game underway and whistles and boos can be heard within seconds. This could get spicy!
Hello and welcome to tonight's live text commentary of Juventus vs Inter from the Serie A. After a busy day of European action, this game could well be the pick of the bunch with both teams sitting pretty at the top of the table.
Juve are unbeaten in their last four games and they come into the contest after a win in the Champions League. They were far too good for Olympiakos in midweek and a 2-0 victory helped them into the knockout stages of the competition. Inter have not played since last weekend but they beat Chievo 5-0 after a superb display.
TEAM NEWS for the clash at the Allianz Stadium coming shortly...
Juventus Starting XI (4-3-3): Szczesny, De Sciglio, Benatia, Chiellini, Asamoah, Khedira, Pjanic, Matuidi, Cuadrado, Mandzukic, Higuain.
Allegri makes four changes to his team for this evening's Serie A clash, with Chiellini, Asamoah, Pjanic and Manduzkic all coming in. Out go Barzagli, Sandro, Dybala and Douglas Costa.
Inter coach Spalletti keeps it more simple with just two alterations for the game. Miranda and Vecino are brought in and they replaced Ranocchia and Joao Mario. Not long to go until kick-off!
The two sets of players are now on the field, the atmosphere is electric and an exciting game is expected in Turin.
After a number of difficult campaigns, Inter have finally found their groove under Luciano Spalletti and they head into the tie unbeaten all season. That form sees them at the top of the pile and it is current holders Juventus fighting to try and catch them. Massimiliano Allegri's men are third in the Serie A table but just two points separate the sides.
HALF-TIME - Juventus 0-0 Inter.
Well the scorline is not exactly exciting but it has been intense in Turin so far. Mandzukic has had three chances to score but Inter have done just about enough to deny him. There are some great one-on-one battles out there and the second-half could still bring us goals!
Inter have not done enough with possession and Icardi has looked stranded up top. Spalletti will surely get the message across and we could see a different set of tactics in the final 45 minutes. Join us soon for more coverage.
FULL-TIME - Juventus 0-0 Inter.
Inter remain unbeaten this season as they become just the second side to hold Juve to a draw at home. The scoreline was disappointing to say the least and the home team should have got the job done. Mandzukic wasted too many opportunities but full credit goes to Handanovic in the Inter goal.
While there is a sense of disappointment, this result leaves the title race nicely poised going into a busy few weeks of the campaign.
That is all for today folks, thanks for tuning in. Goodbye!
