Juventus host Palermo in Serie A, with live text and scoring from 7.45pm.

Munoz with a poor defensive header that drops to DEL PIERO ON HIS LEFT but he drills it a yard or so wide. More even, a half-chance.

Motta on the right lofts a diagonal ball far post, Del Piero flies in but can't connect and Pepe does but his shot bounces across goal and wide and no-one can get a touch! Quagliarella thinks he was fouled but no response from the ref.

Long ball aimed for Pinilla but he is offside. The brought the former Hearts - yes Hearts - striker in after selling Edinson Cavani to Napoli this summer.

Luigi Del Neri looks perplexed on the sidelines. He thought this had gone away after the resounding win at the weekend.

Del Piero is caught offside, well offside, as Pepe doesn't release the pass in time.

Cool defending from Cassani to play his way out of trouble. Palermo in control right now.

The corner is weak and cleared and a long shot comes in from Marchisio, which he mis-hits wide.

Pepe gets in down the left for the first time, finding Grygera on the overlap, his cross is low and weak but deflected behind the near post, almost catching the keeper Sirigu out. Corner.

Pinilla is fouled by Krasic and Palermo have a free-kick a touch to the left, 35 yards out. Bovo lofts it wide right but Cassani is offside. Wasteful.

It's hard to pin down what is wrong with Juve's defence which on paper - while not as classy as those of yore - should be adept at dealing with basic diagonal balls and a bit of pace. But it can't. They get dragged out of position and seem to panic far too easily.

Krasic bursts down the right but again Balzaretti does well to keep with him and the cross spoons behind for a goal kick.

Juve are really struggling as Pastore gets in behind again but his low drive is straight at Storari.

Pastore is played onside and Ilicic is on the ball, Cassani on the overlap but Chiellini manages to head clear. Juve on the rack.

GOAL PALERMO! The Juve defence opens up to let Pinilla in after a one-two with Ilicic, he should score but Storari makes a really good save, Juve's dreadful defence just stand and watch though as Pastore rams home the loose ball! Shocking defending, woeful, and Palermo are ahead!

Krasic gets the crowd going with an early run down the right but Balzaretti gets across him. Melo has the ball now and he almost slides the Serb through but just the wrong side of him and Palermo clear.

The first half is underway in Turin (three and a half minutes late)!

A delay in kick off as the teams take their time to come out of the dressing rooms.
