Juventus will climb to third with victory today, closing the gap on leaders Inter to seven points. Torino would stay in 17th with a surprise win, but would move four points clear of relegation. Big game, this.

More from Pirlo, this time on the derby: "There will be great pride because it's a team of champions who have already faced moments like these. They will have a great desire for revenge and to prove that they are a fantastic group of players."

Pirlo: “The approach is to win all the games and then see what happens in front and behind. The goal is to win the one tomorrow and then think about the next one. Our goal is to win all the games."
16:20
It's a big day for the Old Lady but also for Torino. They are just one point ahead of the drop zone and could really do with a victory. They have gone all-out attack with Antonio Sanabria and Andrea Belotti up front. Former Juve players Rolando Mandragora and Tomas Rincon also start.
16:15
Matthijs de Ligt and Giorgio Chiellini start in central defence for Juventus in the absence of Leonardo Bonucci and Merih Demiral, who contracted COVID-19 on international duty. Juve are also without Paulo Dybala, Weston McKennie and Arthur Melo, all of whom broke lockdown rules. But there's still no place in the team for Aaron Ramsey, with Danilo chosen to play in midfield.
