Parma are still plugging away gamely, but it would take one heck of a late show to pull this back now.
Ronaldo looks to have been booked, possibly for having a word with the ref.

89'
Ronaldo doesn't want to finish without a goal! He gets the ball from Ramsey 25 yards out and tees himself up for a shot just outside the D, but he lashes a wild effort high and wide to the right.
88'

M. Busi enters the game and replaces G. Pezzella.
More changes for Parma. Busi replaces Pezzella.
And now Karamoh comes on for Man.
78'
This looks to be near enough over as a contest now. Juventus are managing possession well and Parma have hardly threatened in the second half other than Osorio's header off the line from a corner.
76'
Dybala spins and slips in Kulusevski at the right side of the area and he drives infield for the first time, but he can't thread his pass through a crowded penalty area and Grassi is able to clear.
74'
A. Ramsey enters the game and replaces W. McKennie.
A. Rabiot enters the game and replaces R. Bentancur.
D. Kulusevski enters the game and replaces J. Cuadrado.
McKennie is off too, with Ramsey coming on.
Cuadrado has been in good form tonight and he'll finish with two assists to his name. He makes way for Kulusevski.
Three changes, the first in midfield. Rabiot replaces Bentancur.
72'
Into the last 20 minutes now. Juve's forwards look like they're starting to enjoy themselves but they might not have long left, with a gaggle of substitutes being readied on the touchline.
71'
Hernani enters the game and replaces G. Brugman.
A third change for Parma, with Hernani coming on for the goalscorer Brugman.
68'
M. de Ligt has scored a goal for Juventus! Assist by J. Cuadrado.
Cuadrado gets a second assist, this time for a pinpoint delivery from the corner.
GOOOALLL! 3-1 JUVE, DE LIGT! That might just be game over, and De Ligt now has a goal to go with his assist. It's a simple goal. Cuadrado delivers an inswinging corner from the left, and De Ligt powers a thumping header inside the far post from six yards out. Simple but very satisfying to watch.
67'
It didn't accomplish much but Sandro just pulled off a delightful piece of skill. Retreating towards the byline in his left-back position, the ball was running out for a goal kick but he knocked it back to a team-mate with a flicked backheel. Very smooth.
66'
The game is opening up now. Cuadrado gets into the area from the right, chopping inside before going back out onto his right and looking to drill a low ball across the face of goal, but it's cleared away.
64'
Off the line! Parma have barely threatened in the second half but they almost pull themselves level from a corner. Osorio meets Brugman's delivery from the left with a powerful header but Arthur is there on the near post to clear with a diving header.
62'
V. Mihăilă enters the game and replaces Y. Gervinho.
And now Mihaila comes on for Gervinho.
Parma make two changes in attack. First, Cornelius replaces Pelle.
61'
A. Cornelius enters the game and replaces G. Pellè.
Bonucci has taken another whack in the face from Pelle, this time an elbow as he went up for a header. He isn't happy, but there's no card for the forward.
59'
Parma were dangerous on the counter-attack in the first half but they haven't really threatened so far since the break. They put together their first real attack of the half down the left and Grassi gets a good chance as De Ligt mis-hits a clearance, but he can't react quickly to get a shot on target and it spins well wide.
54'
Ronaldo fouls Grassi as he tries to win a bouncing ball in the Parma penalty area.
53'
Bentancur crosses from the right and Ronaldo winds up an overhead kick, but Osorio gets ahead of him to nod clear before he can connect with his shot.
51'
Juve look to have a decent opportunity with a few players forward. Ronaldo draws out a defender with some stepovers at the edge of the area but his pass out to Cuadrado on the right is overhit and he has to go backwards to keep possession for the hosts.
47'
Alex Sandro has scored a goal for Juventus! Assist by J. Cuadrado.
GOOOALLL! 2-1 JUVE, SANDRO AGAIN! Ronaldo plays in Cuadrado at the right corner of the area and he looks to pick out Dybala in the centre. He can't quite get up to meet it but nobody tracks Sandro at the far post, and he directs a free header past Colombi.
Cuadrado gets the assist for a measured cross.
45'
HALF-TIME: JUVENTUS 1-1 PARMA
We're back underway.
43'
Alex Sandro has scored a goal for Juventus! Assist by M. de Ligt.
GOOOALLL! 1-1, SANDRO WITH A BELTER! De Ligt heads down a corner to the edge of the area, where Sandro latches onto it. He takes one touch before smashing it into the top-left corner on the half-volley. Brilliant finish.
An assist for De Ligt, showing good awareness to nod the ball down to the man in space at the edge of the area.
41'
McKennie flicks a ball on to Ronaldo, looking to combine with a one-two down the left, but he gives his team-mate a lot to do and Ronaldo can't direct his flick around the corner for the American to latch onto.
39'
Man tries to lead a counter-attack down the right after a spell of Juventus possession, but he checks infield and can't pick out a team-mate in support.
37'
Sandro crosses for Bonucci after a corner but the defender puts his header just wide to the left.
36'
Dybala steps up to take the resulting free-kick but it clips the top of the wall and flies over for a corner.
35'
Brugman is called back for pulling Arthur's shirt just outside the Parma area. This is a good position for a shot, slightly to the right of centre on the line of the D.
33'
McKennie looks to have gotten around Laurini to the left of the penalty area but he can't quite stretch his leg around the ball to whip in a cross, and his delivery skims straight into the side-netting.
32'
Brugman delivers a corner in towards Bani at the near side of the six-yard box from the left, but the whistle goes for a foul on Buffon.
31'
Juventus have upped their share of possession in the last 10 minutes but aren't looking all that threatening on the ball. Parma are defending resolutely and breaking at speed when they win it back.
29'
Bentancur almost gets Buffon into trouble with a firmly-struck pass back to him from the edge of the box. Pelle charges him down but the veteran goalkeeper just manages to hook it clear before the big forward bundles into him.
28'
Cuadrado thumps in a dangerous-looking corner towards the near post from the right. Someone in black and white hurls themself at the ball but can't make a connection, and the corner eventually goes all the way through the crowd.
25'
G. Brugman has scored a goal for Parma!
GOOOALLL! 1-0 PARMA, A BEAUTY FROM BRUGMAN! McKennie took Gervinho down just outside the area and it was a great position for the free-kick, just outside the D and over to the left. Brugman takes a long run-up, skipping on his toes as he approaches the ball and side-foots it calmly inside the near post. Buffon doesn't even move. Lovely hit.
23'
W. McKennie gets yellow.
McKennie gets the first yellow card of the evening, after sliding through the back of Gervinho just outside the box. He might actually have gotten his foot to the ball first but on first viewing, it did look like a foul.
21'
Gervinho ghosts away from Cuadrado off the ball but Pezzella mis-kicks his pass as he looks to thread him through and it's cut out.
18'
Gervinho knocks Cuadrado over just outside the Juventus box and the Colombian looks in some pain as he goes down, but he's back on his feet quickly enough.
16'
With European qualification not secured and relegation not confirmed, both teams have plenty to play for tonight and the game is being played at a lively pace. Ronaldo will no doubt feel he should have opened the scoring with his early chance, but it looks as though he'll get more opportunities as we go.
15'
Parma counter after winning the ball in midfield, Gervinho carrying it through the middle before again spreading the play to Pezzella on the overlap. It looks a good opportunity but the left-back gets his cross all wrong, overhitting it straight behind for a goal kick.
13'
Arthur fires a pass in to Ronaldo's feet, his back to goal at the edge of the area. He tries a first-time flick out to Sandro on the left, but there's too much on Arthur's pass and it balloons up off his boot.
12'
Pelle meets a Brugman corner from the left and tries to flick a header in at the far post, but he doesn't quite connect well enough and it drops just wide.
11'
Gervinho drives at the defence for the first time down the left, before laying the ball on to Pezzella on the overlap. His low cross is blocked behind by Danilo and Parma want a penalty. It does look to have hit his arm but there's no way he could have gotten it out of the way at such close range.
8'
Sandro flies forward down the left and Colombi dives to his left to tip away his low cross with an outstretched hand. Cuadrado lifts the ball back in from the right and Colombi tips it around the post for a corner, though it might have been dropping wide anyway.
7'
Parma are, as you would expect, keeping plenty of men behind the ball when they don't have it. Ronaldo receives a ball to feet 30 yards out and whips out some quick stepovers, but opts against trying to find a way through the massed ranks of blue shirts and recycles possession back into midfield.
5'
Arthur does well to hold off a challenge from Pelle as he dribbles from left to right along the halfway line. Quite the size difference between those two.
3'
Parma win the first corner of the night. Brugman curls it in from the left but De Ligt gets a strong head to it on the penalty spot and the hosts clear their lines.
1'
We're off!
Hello and welcome to our live coverage of this midweek Serie A fixture! Champions Juventus are looking to keep their slim hopes of defending their crown alive as they host second-bottom Parma at the Allianz Stadium in Turin.
The Super League appears to be dead in the water so after a dramatic couple of days, it’ll be nice to get back to some actual football. That competition may be slipping through Andrea Agnelli’s fingers and it looks as though the Italian title is too; with seven games to play, Juve are fourth, 13 points behind leaders Inter.
JUVENTUS (4-4-2): Gianluigi Buffon; Alex Sandro, Leonardo Bonucci, Matthijs de Ligt, Danilo; Weston McKennie, Arthur, Rodrigo Bentancur, Juan Cuadrado; Cristiano Ronaldo, Paulo Dybala.
SUBS: Federico Bernardeschi, Alvaro Morata, Aaron Ramsey, Wojciech Szczesny, Felix Correia, Giorgio Chiellini, Adrien Rabiot, Carlo Pinsoglio, Gianluca Frabotta, Dejan Kulusevski.
PARMA (4-3-3): Simone Colombi; Giuseppe Pezzella, Mattia Bani, Yordan Osorio, Vincent Laurini; Jasmin Kurtic, Gaston Brugman, Alberto Grassi; Gervinho, Graziano Pelle, Dennis Man.
SUBS: Hernani, Luigi Sepe, Filippo Rinaldi, Valentin Mihaila, Juan Brunetta, Drissa Camara, Chaka Traore, Simon Sohm, Andreas Cornelius, Yann Karamoh, Maxime Busi, Daan Dierckx.
The teams are on their way out onto the pitch. Kick-off is just a few moments away.
Juventus haven't been at their best so far. If they can find another gear, you'd make them favourites but, while they've been generally on top since the first goal went in, they haven't created any huge chances since then.
That's it from me here tonight. Until the next time, ciao!
A good night for Juve. Not only have they won, but AC Milan lost earlier and Inter are drawing right now, so the gap at the top could close. For now, they're above Atalanta into third, with the Bergamo side playing tomorrow. Parma remain 19th, and in big trouble.
