Massimiliano Allegri looks to Alvaro Morata, Paulo Dybala and Dusan Vlahovic against Andrea Belotti’s Torino.

The derby della Mole kicks off at 19.45 UK time.

The Bianconeri haven’t lost a Turin derby since 2015 when the Granata beat Massimiliano Allegri’s side 2-1 with goals from Matteo Darmian and Fabio Quagliarella.

Juventus have scored in each one of the last 21 games against Torino in Serie A. The last goalless derby for Juve was in 2008. They won the last two games at home without conceding. They haven’t managed three since 2018.

They are without the injured Giorgio Chiellini, Leonardo Bonucci, Federico Chiesa and Federico Bernardeschi, while Danilo is suspended. Manuel Locatelli gets the nod in the middle of the park, with Vlahovic, Morata and Dybala up front. Allegri hasn’t rotated much despite Tuesday’s Champions League clash against Villareal.

On the other hand, Torino must cope without the injured Mohamed Fares and Denis Praet, while Andrea Belotti starts his first game since November 28.

Josip Brekalo will need to step up for the Granata, who have lost the last two Serie A games in a row. The Croatian has scored three of Torino’s last seven goals in Serie A.

Torino have 515 touches in the opposing box this season but haven’t been awarded a penalty kick yet. They are the only ones in Serie A.
