David Trezeguet is looking to pull level with the legendary John Charles in Juventus' all-time scoring chart in Wednesday's Champions League Group A clash against Bayern Munich at the Stadio Delle Alpi.

The French striker has netted 104 times for Juve, one short of the number achieved by the 'Gentle Giant' during his five years in Turin.

Welshman Charles, who died in February 2004, was voted by Juve fans their most loved foreign player having helped the Turin giants win the Scudetto three times in the 1950s.

There's nothing that would please Trezeguet more than for his name to appear alongside that of the Swansea-born star.

"I am extremely proud to continue to climb such a prestigious chart and to be part of the history of Juventus," Trezeguet told the club's official website, www.juventus.it.

Fabio Capello's outfit will need all the inspiration they can get from Trezeguet if they wish to bounce back from Saturday's 3-1 defeat at AC Milan that brought to an end their otherwise impeccable start to the campaign.

After nine consecutive league victories, the slip at the San Siro was a bitter blow for the team's morale despite Juve still leading the Serie A standings with a two-point advantage over Milan.

"Against Milan it didn't go as planned," admitted Trezeguet.

"We must now focus on clinching a victory against Bayern Munich in what is set to be a very difficult game."

Juve lost 2-1 to Bayern at the Allianz Arena two weeks ago - a result which allowed the German champions to take sole possession of top spot in the standings.

The Italians, who are three points behind Wednesday's rivals, will be looking for history to repeat itself, however, with Bayern having never beaten the Bianconeri in Turin.

Juve will be without defender Jonathan Zebina who will undergo an appendix operation on Wednesday.

The good news for the Bianconeri is the return of goalkeeper Christian Abbiati to the starting line up with the ex-Milan player having missed last weekend's game with personal problems.

If Bayern avoid defeat at the Delle Alpi they will advance to the next stage.

Bayern captain Oliver Kahn wants his side to push for top spot in Group A, a position which would see them seeded in the second round draw to face a runner-up from one of the other groups.

"It is our absolute aim to be first," he said, while recognising the fact it isn't going to be easy.

"To win this sort of game, you have got to give 120%."

Bayern travel to Turin without striker Roque Santa Cruz, who tore cruciate knee ligaments at the weekend and will be out for six months.

Coach Felix Magath has been working on the chemistry of his whole squad this week and invited the players to breakfast on Sunday morning, rather than the usual training session.

Club chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge said: "We can play free of any worries and if we can pick anything up, it will be a bonus."

However even If Zlatan doesn't start, I'm sure he'll take one of Dp or Mutu even if they're doing good and Put Ibra to play...
That's how gay he is.
Nevertheless, he's our coach and respect demands it.

Well looks like we are playing:

------------------------------Abbiati
??????? ----------Thuram ----- Cannavaro --- Zambrotta
---------------Emerson--------------Vieira
Del Piero ---------------------------------------Nedved
------------------Trezeguet ---------- Zlatan

???? is still a mistory. But I guess if Zambrotta will start on the left it will mostly be Blasi or Pessotto.
Now I would like for Chielini to play on the left and Zambrotta on the right if Del Piero plays as right midfielder. Del Piero and Zambrotta should play on the same side. They connect terrifically.

Personally I would also like to see:

--------------------------Abbiati
Zambortta -------Thuram----Cannavaro --------- Chielini
-----Nedved ---------Vieira ------- Emerson
-------------------------------Del Piero
-------------Trezeguet-----------Ibrahimovic

I am one of those who believe in formation that consists of a playmaker behind the strikers. I think thats obvious by now :D

Never the less I think the following is our winning formation:
--------------------------Abbiati
Zambortta -------Thuram----Cannavaro --------- Chielini
-----Nedved ---------Vieira ------- Emerson
-------------------------------Mutu
-------------Trezeguet-----------Del Piero

if that the formation which i dont think, then its very good.Very strong midfield from our side, and good to see Manuele getting another shot at RB.I think he deserved, i hope he doesnt screw it up though.

From their part, i think that Magath opted for a little bit of experience in LB position, cuz he had Salihamdizic there instead of Schweni. He tends to push alot to the front the Bosinian so there should be some space in there.

I think that both Paddy and Puma should take care of ballack, and i hope Paddy is in full fitness.

and ballack with a consolation goal off abbiati's thighs again!!
