It’s the 186th Derby della Mole this afternoon as relegation-threatened Torino host a Juventus side on their way to the Scudetto.

There was the chance this could’ve become the title-clincher for Juve, but Napoli’s 3-0 win away to Pescara last night made that mathematically impossible. Click here for a match preview.

The Bianconeri are flying high at the top of the table and welcome Sebastian Giovinco back for a spot on the bench after his injury.

Mauricio Isla, Simone Pepe and Nicolas Anelka are injured, while Coach Antonio Conte sticks with the 3-5-1-1 system that has Claudio Marchisio and Paul Pogba together.

Torino boss Giampiero Ventura never changes his beloved 4-2-4 tactic, though in this game he is without the suspended Giuseppe Vives and Mattia Darmian.

Alessio Cerci is the primary threat down the wing with Mario Alberto Santana, Riccardo Meggiorini and Rolando Bianchi, as Paulo Vitor Barreto is surprisingly dropped.

There has already been some tension outside the Stadio Olimpico involving around 80 Juventus ultras and police.
