The Nerazzurri have an opportunity to further break away at the top of the table, especially as Milan have a tricky match against Napoli this evening.

Antonio Conte sits out a touchline ban in the stands and is looking for an eighth consecutive victory, but Arturo Vidal’s knee surgery and an Eriksen muscular issue mean changes are forced in midfield.

Roberto Gagliardini steps in to plug the gaps, with Lautaro Martinez preferred to Alexis Sanchez as partner to Romelu Lukaku.

Torino are still dealing with the aftermath of the COVID outbreak, with players now steadily returning, but not fully fit.

That includes Andrea Belotti, who is only available on the bench, so Antonio Sanabria leads the way with Simone Verdi in support.

Rugged midfield enforcer Tomas Rincon is suspended, with Wilfried Singo and Nicolas Nkoulou still out of action.

Toro nonetheless have lost only one game since Davide Nicola took over from Marco Giampaolo and that was last week’s 4-2 thriller at Crotone.

Torino: Sirigu; Izzo, Lyanco, Bremer; Vojvoda, Baselli, Mandragora, Lukic, Murru; Verdi, Sanabria.

Inter: Handanovic; Skriniar, De Vrij, Bastoni; Hakimi, Barella, Brozovic, Gagliardini, Perisic; Lukaku, Lautaro Martinez
