87'
Some space opens up for Hernanes to try his luck from just outside the area. There is no real venom in the shot, though, and Marchetti easily gathers.
85'
GOOD SAVE! Some crisp link-up play from Juve sets up Zaza to strike, but Marchetti makes a strong stop before Asamoah is ruled offside.
84'
Juve are in absolutely no rush whatsoever at the moment. They are knocking the ball around at their own pace with the points in the bag, barring a miraculous turnaround from Lazio.
82'
K. Asamoah enters the game and replaces P. Pogba.
Pogba is also given a rest, as Kwadwo Asamoah takes his place.

Minute
Description
72'
The hosts now a free-kick in a dangerous area as Hoedt is penalised for a rash challenge on Mandzukic. The Lazio defender was fortunate to escape without a card in all fairness, as his studs were showing in the tackle.
70'
S. Sturaro enters the game and replaces S. Khedira.
Juve make their first change of the night, as Khedira is replaced by Stefano Sturaro.
68'
Juve have conceded just one goal in their six previous meetings with Lazio coming into this game. Efforts like that of Keita suggest the run is set to continue.
66'
At the other end, Keita has a go from just outside the area. However, his half-volley is way off target and still rising in all fairness.
64'
P. Dybala has scored a goal for Juventus! Assist by S. Khedira.
Goal Paulo Bruno Dybala
Assist Sami Khedira
62'
Lichtsteiner shows good strength to get in behind the Lazio defence. The visitors recover, though, and are able to snuff the Swiss wing-back out.
60'
As we hit the hour-mark, Juve are very comfortable with their 2-0 lead. The Bianconeri will need just four more points for the title if they hang on this evening.
58'
Lazio look like they are trying to have a go now. The visitors try and gain a foothold in possession, but need to be creative in order to break down their stubborn opponents.
56'
That was Dybala's 15th goal in Serie A this season, moving him level with Mauro Icardi and Carlos Bacca. Only Gonzalo Higuain has scored more in the Italian top-flight.
53'
D. Basta enters the game and replaces Felipe Anderson.
Inzaghi goes straight to the bench in search of an answer. Anderson is withdrawn and replaced by Dušan Basta.
52'
S. Lulić gets yellow.
Penalty goal scored by P. Dybala for Juventus!
NO PROBLEM!!! Dybala steps up and calmly slots past Marchetti to double Juve's lead. That could well be game, set and match already.
Yellow card Senad Lulić
50'
PENALTY TO JUVENTUS! The referee points to the spot after Bonucci is held back in the area. This is a great chance to give Lazio a mountain to climb...
48'
Patric gets a second yellow card and is sent off.
PATRIC IS SENT OFF! Lazio are reduced to 10 men as the right-back is given his marching orders for pulling back Dybala. He can have few complaints in all fairness.
46'
S. Milinković-Savić enters the game and replaces M. Parolo.
Lazio made a change at the break, with Parolo going off to be replaced by Sergej Milinković-Savić.
KICK-OFF! The referee blows his whistle and Juve get the ball rolling once again.
45'
The opening goal came at a good time for Juve and will certainly make Allegri's half-time teamtalk a lot easier. Inzaghi will now need to motivate his Lazio players to respond after the break.
43'
That is a slightly worrying sign for Juve. Mandzukic has given them the lead tonight and he will be a key man in their quest to secure the title, so Allegri will be hoping he can run his injury off.
41'
Patric gets yellow.
Patric receives the first yellow card of the game for a rash challenge on Mandzukic, who is need of touchline treatment as a result.
39'
M. Mandžukić has scored a goal for Juventus! Assist by P. Pogba.
MANDZUKIC GIVES JUVE THE LEAD!!! Dybala's corner reaches Pogba, who fires the ball across the six-yard box, where the Croatian is on hand to turn home and break the deadlock.
Pogba caused havoc for Lazio when he drilled the ball across the six-yard box.
36'
The hosts are still very much on top in this contest. They are very dominant in possession and it only seems a matter of time before their persistence pays dividends.
34'
Juve are awarded a corner that is cleared by Lazio but only as far as Khedira, who cannot keep his shot down on the half-volley.
31'
You have to go back to December 2003 for the last time that Lazio tasted victory against Juve. The Bianconeri are unbeaten in 22 against today's opponents - winning 16 and drawing six.
29'
The visitors embark on what has been a rare venture forward over the past few minutes. Bonucci comes across to make a vital block and snuff out the danger.
27'
Lazio are eighth in the Serie A table and currently four points behind sixth-place Milan, who they need to overtake in order to snatch a Europa League qualifying spot by the end of the season.
25'
Inzaghi barks out instructions from the touchline. He has seen his side go from dominating to being pretty much outplayed and is urging his players to balance things out.
23'
GREAT SAVE! Dybala meets Sandro's low cross to send his glancing header looping towards the far corner, but Marchetti springs across well to claw the ball away.
21'
WHAT A CHANCE! Juve hit Lazio on the counter-attack and Pogba is completely unmarked to receive Mandzukic's square ball in the area. However, he slips at the vital moment and scuffs his effort straight into the grateful arms of Marchetti.
19'
NOT FAR AWAY! The ball breaks kindly for Sandro, who tries his luck from the edge of the area. His effort swerves away from Marchetti's dive, but is narrowly wide of the post.
18'
Despite such a poor start to the season, Juve could wrap the title up with matches to spare. They need seven points from their five remaining games to seal a fifth consecutive Scudetto.
16'
The hosts are dominating proceedings now. They were very much on the back foot in the early stages of this match, but the pendulum has swung in their favour.
14'
GOOD EFFORT! Juve are awarded a free-kick that is cleared by Lazio but only as far as Pogba, who unleashes a sweet strike that Marchetti is forced to turn away.
13'
Juve must be generally full of confidence at the moment. They have won their last seven matches in Serie A and are unbeaten in 23 stretching back to October.
11'
That seems to have suddenly sparked the Bianconeri into life. They are playing with a lot more purpose and Lazio need to be careful.
9'
GREAT SAVE! In their first decent spell of possession, Juve get the better of their opponents down the right wing. Lichtsteiner's ball across the area is met by Dybala, who is brilliantly denied by Marchetti from point-blank range.
7'
The visitors continue to hold the upper hand in the opening stages of this match. Rugani has to stretch and make a vital interception to prevent Keita from latching onto a cross from the left flank.
5'
Interestingly, Lazio have lost 75 matches and conceded 256 goals against Juve in Serie A. That is more than they have suffered against any other side.
3'
It has been a positive start to the game from Lazio. They have enjoyed almost all of the possession and need to stay with Juve for as long as they can this evening.
1'
KICK-OFF! The referee blows his whistle and Lazio get the match underway!
Good evening everyone and welcome to LIVE text commentary from Serie A. We are at the Juventus Stadium tonight, as Juventus look to take a step closer to a fifth consecutive Italian title against Lazio.
Following Napoli's 6-0 demolition of Bologna last night, Juve are aiming to restore their nine-point lead at the top with what would be an eighth straight win in Serie A. Meanwhile, eighth-place Lazio will be desperate to keep their Europa League hopes alive with five games remaining.
Massimiliano Allegri makes three changes to the side that beat Palermo 4-0 at the weekend, all of which come in midfield. Claudio Marchisio has been ruled out for the rest of the season and is replaced by Hernanes in the centre, while Stephan Lichtsteiner and Alex Sandro replace Juan Cuadrado and Patrice Evra on the wings.
Simone Inzaghi has overseen two victories since taking over from Stefano Pioli earlier this month. Both changes from the 2-0 win over Empoli come up front, as Filip Djordjevic and Balde Keita replace Miroslav Klose and Antonio Candreva.
HERE THEY COME: The players have made their way out onto the field and kick-off is just moments away.
HALF-TIME: JUVENTUS 1-0 LAZIO
Mario Mandzukic's goal is the difference between the sides at the break. Despite being on the back foot in the early stages, Juve soon gained control and are very good value for their lead.
The players are making their way back out onto the field and the second half is imminent.
FULL-TIME: JUVENTUS 3-0 LAZIO
Paulo Dybala scored a brace as Juventus moved a step closer to a fifth straight Scudetto. Mario Mandzukic was also on target for the Bianconeri, who recorded their seventh successive victory over Lazio.
That's all from the Juventus Stadium. Thank you for following the LIVE action from Serie A - hope you've enjoyed it. Until next time, have a very good evening!
