The Granata are in dire straits and last week’s Derby della Mole was their season in a nutshell. They scored a fantastic solo effort with Bruno Peres and against 10-man Juventus pushed for victory only to be beaten 2-1 by an Andrea Pirlo strike in the final minute.

Giampiero Ventura will be in the stands, as he was suspended for making a threatening gesture to protesting fans at the final whistle.

Toro have lost three on the bounce and are without a Serie A win in over a month, although they’re on track to progress in the Europa League.

Alessandro Gazzi is suspended with Marcelo Larrondo, Migjen Basha, Salvatore Masiello, Antonio Nocerino and Marco Benassi sidelined.

Omar El Kaddouri pulls the strings behind strikers Fabio Quagliarella and Josef Martinez, leaving Amauri on the bench.

The Sicilians had a disastrous start to the season, but have found their form and been dragged forward by hitman Dybala.

This week Italy Coach Antonio Conte tried to poach him, but Dybala confirmed his dream to play for Argentina.

Franco Vazquez and Edgar Barreto sit out bans, so Italy Under-21 international Andrea Belotti gets a rare start.

Expect Enzo Maresca to get a fiery welcome from Toro fans, as he famously scored for Juventus in the derby and infuriated the supporters by emulating their ‘bull horns’ celebration gesture.
