The 201st edition of the Derby della Mole will take place on Saturday night as a struggling Torino side host Serie A leaders Juventus at the Olimpico Grande Torino, with the Old Lady of Turin looking to extent their lead over Internazionale to four points, agencies report.
Torino will remain without winger Vittorio Parigini as the 23-year-old recovers from a thigh injury, while 20-year-old prodigy Alessandro Buongiorno is sidelined with a groin injury. Nicolas N'Koulou picked up two yellow cards in the 4-0 demolition away at Lazio, meaning the Cameroonian centre-back will miss the Derby di Torino.
Juventus have somewhat struggled defensively this season, and the injury to Giorgio Chiellini undoubtedly a huge factor in those meek defensive displays. The 35-year-old remains sidelined with an ACL injury, while Matia Perin has returned to training following a shoulder injury.
Adrian Rabiot picked up a red card against Genoa on Wednesday, meaning he will miss out on his first Derby di Torino.
