The Rossoneri are under pressure after a shock home defeat at the hands of Sassuolo on Tuesday, especially as they had taken an early lead through Andrea Poli.
Coach Pippo Inzaghi rings the changes for this game, though Daniele Bonera, Marco van Ginkel and Asian Cup star Keisuke Honda are still unavailable.
Nigel de Jong, Philippe Mexes and Pablo Armero all return from suspension to bolster the squad, while Sulley Muntari is picked ahead of Poli.
The big surprises are in attack, where both new arrival Cerci – facing his former Toro teammates for the first time – and El Shaarawy are benched in favour of M’Baye Niang.
The young French forward hadn’t started a Serie A match for almost a year and a half, but he completes the trident with Jeremy Menez and Giacomo Bonaventura.
Torino are stuttering in mid-table and need results to stay clear of the danger zone, particularly now when they do not have the Europa League to contend with until next month.
Amauri and Paulo Vitor Barreto are on the treatment table, so the pressure to get goals is on the shoulders of Fabio Quagliarella.
Torino have an appalling record against Milan, not beating the Rossoneri here since a 1-0 result in November 2001. That day Inzaghi missed a penalty and Coach Fatih Terim was sacked.
Last season Mario Balotelli was on target deep into stoppages to scrape a 2-2 draw for the visitors.
This fixture has recently provided plenty of action with 14 goals in the last three editions.
