Juve have been unstoppable since switching to four at the back in both Serie A and the Champions League, so confidence is sky high.

Max Allegri does have injury problems to contend with, as Kwadwo Asamoah is out for three months, Andrea Barzagli’s return date is uncertain, while Martin Caceres and Luca Marrone also miss out.

Simone Padoin is suspended, so Patrice Evra recovers just in time to take the left-back slot.

Gigi Buffon is not even on the bench, replaced by Marco Storari, as he picked up a shoulder problem against Malmo and did not want to risk it.

Torino are in dire straits with three consecutive Serie A defeats, but are in a strong position to qualify for the Europa League knockouts after a 0-0 draw with Club Brugge.

Migjen Basha, Antonio Nocerino and Salvatore Masiello miss out, but ex-Juventus strikers Quagliarella and Mauri lead the attack with Omar El Kaddouri.
