90' +2

Inter are starting to play ugly now with the game getting away from them. Brozovic goes in hard on Matuidi and is next to get a caution.
Inter's substitute goalkeeper Padelli is sent off for questioning the referee's decision about Brozovic. Inter still have 11 men, but Padelli will no longer watch from the touchline.
77'
A. Sánchez enters the game and replaces R. Lukaku.
M. De Sciglio enters the game and replaces Alex Sandro.
Inter substitution. Lukaku is replaced by fellow ex-Man Utd player Sanchez.

71'
M. Vecino gets yellow.
Vecino earns himself a yellow card for a foul on Alex Sandro. Vecino protests but the referee isn't interested.

67'
P. Dybala has scored a goal for Juventus! Assist by A. Ramsey.
GOAL! JUVENTUS 2-0 INTER! Bentancur finds Dybala with an excellent crossfield ball. Dybala jinks inside from the right and finds Ramsey. Ramsey returns the pass and Dybala deceives Inter's defence to shoot, firing into the bottom left corner. It's a fantastic goal!
Ramsey half-expected the return there only to find that Dybala didn't need him. It's a goal and an assist for the Welshman, who has quietly been very effective.
66'
Ronaldo teases Young on the right of the box, holding the ball up in wait for Cuadrado arriving on the overlap. Ronaldo lays off quickly for Cuadrado whose cross is over everyone. Juve look more likely to score than Inter at the moment.
64'
There's no chance anyone other than Ronaldo is taking this free-kick. The Portuguese captain steps up in his inimitable way and curls it into the wall. Inter clear the resulting corner.
63'
M. Škriniar gets yellow.
Lukaku isn't strong enough in holding the ball and Juve counter. Ronaldo wins a free-kick as he skips past Skriniar. Skriniar is booked for that foul.
61'
Juve pop the ball around in the final third for a while, almost creating an opportunity through Ramsey's run. It doesn't pay off though, so Ronaldo has a shot from range. That bounces into the advertising hoarding.
59'
C. Eriksen enters the game and replaces N. Barella.
P. Dybala enters the game and replaces Douglas Costa.
Inter respond in kind. Eriksen comes on for Barella.
Juve make that change. Costa hasn't had much joy today. Dybala replaces him.
58'

54'
A. Ramsey has scored a goal for Juventus! Assist by Cristiano Ronaldo.
GOAL! JUVENTUS 1-0 INTER! Juve play forward quickly. Ronaldo finds Higuain down the left channel but his shot is blocked. Matuidi arrives on the scene and fires back into the box. Ronaldo picks it up and leaves it for Ramsey who blasts it into the net!
53'
Cuadrado knocks into the back of Young. Inter free-kick. Skriniar plays an over-ambitious pass forward for Lukaku and it sails over the top into Szczesny's arms. Lukaku gives a thumbs-up for the effort but it was ill-judged.
52'
Lukaku collects a pass and moves into the box, waiting for Candreva's return. Instead Candreva drifts inside and loses out. Inter recover and try again and Brozovic rattles a shot against Matuidi from range.
50'

46'
Inter keep possession from the kick-off and work the ball to Bastoni, whose cross from the left is blocked. Inter corner.
45'
Ronaldo pulls off a few tricks before laying out wide to Alex Sandro. Alex Sandro's cross lands with Young at the far post and the English wing-back is alert enough to clear. That'll be that for now.
HALF-TIME: JUVENTUS 0-0 INTER
The second half gets underway. No changes to speak of at half-time.
43'
Barella charges into the onrushing Cuadrado to concede a free-kick. Ronaldo attempts a one-two with Higuain but the Argentinian isn't on Ronaldo's wavelength and the pass rolls harmlessly through to Handanovic.
42'
Juve take the free-kick quickly to spring forward. Costa bears down on the box from the right and crosses in - it takes a deflection and loops into the hands of Handanovic. The winger's having a mixed bag of a game so far.
41'
De Ligt looks to be struggling from an injury briefly but thankfully gets to his feet. Young crosses in towards Lukaku but the Belgian accidentally handles the ball as he tries to bring it under control.
39'
Juve get another chance from a set-piece as Bonucci is the one to head over from Bentancur's corner this time. Corners have looked Juve's most likely route to a goal so far.
37'
Barella raises a boot high to win the ball, kicking Ronaldo's hand in the process. Juve free-kick. From it, Ronaldo shoots and Juve get a corner down their left.
33'
Martinez is the one to take the free-kick. The Argentinian blasts it into the wall and the ball soon goes out of play as Brozovic skies another effort. Inter are starting to make a habit of that.
32'
Young makes another great challenge to win possession and suddenly Inter are away. Lukaku tries to trick his way past Bonucci but can't beat Juve's vice-captain. Vecino has a shot blocked and Inter get a free-kick in the D as de Ligt brings down Martinez.
31'
Ronaldo bombs down the left and finds himself closed down by two Inter defenders. It's no matter as he plays back behind him. Juve work the ball to Costa, who loses the ball and fouls Barella in trying to claim it back.
29'
Young pulls off an excellent sliding tackle to stop Costa racing in down the flank. Juve take the throw and Bentancur looks to slide in Ramsey but the Welshman slips at the vital moment. The home side are starting to probe again.
27'
Candreva swings the corner in. It's met by de Vrij, who can only head it straight into the ground and not on goal. Still, Inter are starting to make progress.
26'
Candreva goes on the run down the right again, sending Inter on their way. Inter put together some nice interplay on the edge of Juve's box to win a corner.
24'

21'

19'

13'
Ronaldo picks up the ball deep in midfield and goes on a mazy run through the middle. When he eventually shoots, it's straight into the arms of Handanovic. Juve's talisman looks up for this game.
11'

And we're off in this Derby D'Italia!
Hello! Welcome to our live text commentary of this Serie A match between Juventus and Inter at the Allianz Stadium, Turin.
After 11 days without a match due to their Coppa Italia semi-final with Milan being postponed, Juventus finally return to action looking to regain their lead over Lazio at the top of Serie A. Maurizio Sarri's team will need to be at their best as they face off against their rivals Inter in the Derby d'Italia.
Inter were neck and neck with Juventus for the opening half of the season but Lazio's emergence as a genuine contender has shunted them down into third. Antonio Conte's team face being nine points behind Juve if they lose here. Win and they'll cut the gap to three points with a game in hand. That is to say, game on.
JUVENTUS (4-3-3): Wojciech Szczesny; Juan Cuadrado, Matthijs de Ligt, Leonardo Bonucci (c), Alex Sandro; Aaron Ramsey, Rodrigo Bentancur, Blaise Matuidi; Douglas Costa, Gonzalo Higuain, Cristiano Ronaldo.
SUBS: Carlo Pinsoglio, Miralem Pjanic, Gianluigi Buffon, Sami Khedira, Danilo, Adrien Rabiot, Daniele Rugani, Giorgio Chiellini, Mattia De Sciglio, Paulo Dybala, Federico Bernardeschi.
INTER (3-5-2): Samir Handanovic (c); Milan Skriniar, Stefan de Vrij, Alessandro Bastoni; Antonio Candreva, Matias Vecino, Marcelo Brozovic, Nicolo Barella, Ashley Young; Romelu Lukaku, Lautaro Martinez.
SUBS: Daniele Padelli, Sebastiano Esposito, Andrea Ranocchia, Kwadwo Asamoah, Roberto Gagliardini, Cristiano Biraghi, Diego Godin, Danilo D'Ambrosio, Alexis Sanchez, Borja Valero, Christian Eriksen, Tommaso Berni.
The two sides are out on the Allianz Stadium pitch. It's weird to see the stadium empty for such a big game with this match being played behind closed doors. Juve will play in their usual black and white home kit. Inter are in their iconic black and blue.
Juve make a big statement in the Serie A title race, then, by seeing off Inter for the time being. Inter have work to do if they want to get back in on the fun. But if Inter fall in an empty stadium and no one is around to see it, does it make a sound? We'll have to see. That's all for now. Goodbye!
