Derby della Mole tends to be a very exciting affair, but with the two rivals in excellent form at the moment, the clash at Juventus Arena is likely to provide premium entertainment.

Having already crashed out of the Champions League and Coppa Italia, the Bianconeri have no choice but to fully focus on their league campaign.

Europa League could prove to be a welcoming distraction given that Juventus are one of the main candidates for the trophy, with 2-0 victory over Trabzonspor ensuring they stay on course.

Meanwhile, Antonio Conte’s side have opened up a nine-point cushion at the Serie A summit, although they cannot start celebrating just yet considering that title rivals Roma have a game in hand.

And having suffered two slip-ups in last four league fixtures, Juventus will be keen to show they remain the team to beat when they face local rivals Torino.

With the team winning each of their last ten matches on home soil, it is hardly surprising the Bianconeri are 1.30 (3/10) favourites to claim maximum points.

Fernando Llorente is set to be recalled as he was rested in midweek, with the Spaniard 2.10 (11/10) to score anytime and improve his tally of 10 league goals.

While Mirko Vucinic and Simone Pepe are definitely out, Giorgio Chiellini and Andrea Barzagli are major doubts, and at least one of them will be missing.

Probable starting line-up (3-5-2): Buffon – Barzagli, Bonucci, Caceres – Lichtsteiner, Pogba, Pirlo, Vidal, Asamoah – Llorente, Tevez.

It has been a while since Torino last went into Derby della Mole from seventh place in the standings, but this just goes to show how well the team have done so far this season.

Despite being predicted a bottom table finish, Granata are now in a position to fight for European qualification and they are obviously brimming with confidence at the moment.

Torino recovered well from the unexpected defeat to Bologna as they went on to beat fellow high-flyers Hellas Verona on the road.

Nevertheless, Giampiero Ventura’s side face a difficult task of trying to record the first triumph over their arch rivals since 1995 and they are 12.00 (11/1) to succeed in that quest.

Alessandro Gazzi and Riccardo Meggiorini have both resumed training, but Paulo Barreto looks set to miss out with a muscle problem.

However, the most important thing is that key players Ciro Immobile, Alessio Cerci and Omar El Kaddouri are fit to feature.

Probable starting line-up (3-5-2): Padelli – Maksimovic, Gilk, Moretti – Darmian, Kurtic, Vives, El Kaddouri, Masiello – Cerci, Immobile.
