Under the stewardship of the Dutchman, Milan have played six league matches, winning four and losing just once in a 3-1 reverse at Napoli.
Despite the upturn in fortunes, a massive 31-point gap separates Milan, who have endured a massively disappointing campaign on the whole and sit ninth, from their fellow Italian giants.
There appears little reason to suggest that Juventus' unbeaten run will end in Milan, but midfielder Riccardo Montolivo is determined to spring a surprise on Antonio Conte's men.
"We need a victory against a big team, for reasons relating to the table, but also for our self-esteem," he told Gazzetta dello Sport.
"And with Juventus it is the right night in which to do it. We know that we have the capability and quality to play a great game and to cause them trouble."
Juventus are able to call on one of the league's deadliest partnerships in the form of Carlos Tevez and Fernando Llorente.
The duo have claimed 24 league goals between them this season and were rested for Juventus' midweek 2-0 victory at Trabzonspor in the UEFA Europa League.
Pablo Daniel Osvaldo is another forward option for Conte, the on-loan Southampton man having bagged his second goal for the club against Trabzonspor.
"I'm gutted I can't play against Milan," he told Juve's official website. "But I know my team-mates will play well even without me."
