Roma have the opportunity to surge past both Inter and Milan into third place and look to Paulo Dybala as a False 9, while Torino count on Tonny Sanabria.

It kicks off at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino at 17.30 UK time (16.30 GMT).

You can follow all the build-up and action as it happens from today’s seven Serie A games on the LIVEBLOG.

Both Inter and Milan were held to draws yesterday by Salernitana and Empoli respectively, so a win here would put the Giallorossi in third place.

Rick Karsdorp is still out, but Bryan Cristante, Roger Ibanez, Gianluca Mancini and Marash Kumbulla all return after their bans against Sampdoria.

Lorenzo Pellegrini was a late addition to the absentee list when coming down with flu symptoms.

It is the first time back in this stadium for Andrea Belotti since he left Toro as a free agent last summer and Il Gallo never really said goodbye to the fans, so there will be mixed emotions.

He had the chance to score against them when they met earlier this season, only to fire his penalty against the upright.

However, Belotti and Tammy Abraham are on the bench, with Ola Solbakken and Stephan El Shaarawy supporting False 9 Dybala.

Torino scraped a 1-1 draw away to Sassuolo last week, once again creating far more opportunities than they managed to convert.

David Zima, Ola Aina, Ivan Ilic and Ronaldo Vieira are out injured, but Yann Karamoh is back in the squad for Ivan Juric.

Sanabria is the star striker, with backing from Aleksei Miranchuk and Nemanja Radonjic.

Torino: Milinkovic-Savic; Gravillon, Schuurs, Buongiorno; Singo, Ricci, Gineitis, Rodriguez; Miranchuk, Radonjic; Sanabria

Roma: Rui Patricio; Mancini, Smalling, Llorente; Zalewski, Cristante, Wijnaldum, Spinazzola; Solbakken, El Shaarawy; Dybala
