The Giallorossi appear to have rediscovered their form after a disastrous run, but are still only one point clear of arch rivals Lazio.

Totti returns from injury and is benched in favour of Victor Ibarbo, but Daniele De Rossi plays despite being diagnosed with a micro-fractured vertebra in his back.

Vasilis Torosidis sits out a ban with injured Gervinho, Douglas Maicon, Seydou Keita, Leandro Castan and Kevin Strootman.

Torino have also won two on the bounce to put them in seventh place, so Coach Giampiero Ventura said a win over Roma would “open up unthinkable scenarios.”

They are only five points behind Napoli and the Partenopei have a very tough game today against Fiorentina.

Migjen Basha is suspended with Marco Benassi and Gaston Silva sidelined.

Roma will be keeping a special eye out for Matteo Darmian and Bruno Peres, as they’ve been heavily linked with a summer transfer swoop.

The fixture also means a lot to the Granata fans, as they haven’t beaten Roma here in Serie A since 1990-91.

Last season this tie ended 1-1, ending Rudi Garcia’s initial run of victories.

Torino: Padelli, Maksimovic, Glik, Moretti, Bruno Peres, Vives, Gazzi, El Kaddouri, Darmian, Martinez, Quagliarella

Roma: De Sanctis; Florenzi, Manolas, Astori, Holebas; Pjanic, De Rossi, Nainggolan; Iturbe, Ibarbo, Ljajic
