Walter Mazzarri remains under pressure on the Granata bench after a 2-1 defeat to Sassuolo, but has to do without suspended Tomas Rincon and Ola Aina, while Cristian Ansaldi, Simone Zaza and Daniele Baselli are injured.

It means Simone Verdi and Alex Berenguer yet again support hitman Gallo Belotti, with Diego Laxalt stepping in to midfield.

Atalanta continue to be frustratingly inconsistent, capable of beating Milan and Parma 5-0, drawing 1-1 with Inter, then losing at home to SPAL.

Duvan Zapata is still rusty, but again given the nod upfront with Ilicic and Gomez.

Hans Hateboer returns from suspension, but Timothy Castagne remains on the treatment table.

Atalanta have not won a Serie A trip to Torino since April 2007, managing only three draws and six defeats.

Torino: Sirigu; Izzo, Nkoulou, Djidji; De Silvestri, Meite, Lukic, Laxalt; Verdi, Berenguer; Belotti

Atalanta: Gollini; Toloi, Palomino, Djimsiti; Hateboer, De Roon, Freuler, Gosens; Gomez; Ilicic, Duvan Zapata
