This is one of the oldest local derbies in Italy and Toro are in a remarkably good position, fighting for a Europa League spot.

Belotti has scored two goals against Juventus in his career, but there is doubt over his partner this evening, as Iago Falque is not 100 per cent fit.

If the Spaniard doesn’t make it, then Simone Zaza will start against his former club.

Lorenzo De Silvestri is tipped to get the nod over Ola Aina, who had started last week’s draw with Milan.

Juventus must do without suspended midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur, who has been a regular in Max Allegri’s XI in Italy and Europe for several weeks now.

Sami Khedira and Andrea Barzagli are still out injured, but joined on the treatment table by Joao Cancelo – who is out for around six weeks after knee surgery – and Juan Cuadrado.

The options are limited, with Mattia De Sciglio and Alex Sandro as full-backs, although Leonardo Bonucci could be rested in favour of Daniele Rugani.

Giorgio Chiellini returns, having rested in the midweek Champions League defeat to Young Boys.

Emre Can gets his first start since undergoing surgery to remove nodules from his thyroid in October.

Paulo Dybala could either play wide right in a 4-3-3 formation or as the trequartista behind Cristiano Ronaldo and Mario Mandzukic.

Mattia Perin gets a rare run-out in goal, resting Wojciech Szczesny.

Torino (probable): Sirigu; Izzo, Nkoulou, Djidji; De Silvestri, Meite, Rincon, Baselli, Ansaldi; Iago Falque, Belotti

Juventus (probable): Perin; De Sciglio, Bonucci, Chiellini, Alex Sandro; Emre Can, Pjanic, Matuidi; Dybala; Ronaldo, Mandzukic
