Juventus look to Kenan Yildiz, Teun Koopmeiners and Dusan Vlahovic for the Derby della Mole against Torino’s Samuele Ricci and Tonny Sanabria.
It kicks off at the Allianz Juventus Stadium at 19.45 GMT.
You can follow all the build-up and action as it happens from this game, Cagliari-Milan and Venezia-Parma on the Liveblog.
The Bianconeri had hoped for better in the Champions League midweek, but were held to a 1-1 draw in France by Lille.
Injuries continue to be an issue, ruling out Douglas Luiz, Arkadiusz Milik, Nico Gonzalez, Gleison Bremer and Vasilije Adzic, while Paul Pogba is of course banned.
Tim Weah is preferred to Francisco Conceicao, with Koopmeiners and Yildiz in support of Vlahovic.
Torino had started the season strong, but a succession of calamities befell them, none more so than losing Duvan Zapata for the rest of the season to a torn anterior cruciate ligament.
Che Adams also hurt his thigh and is out of action this weekend, with Zanos Savva, Perr Schuurs and Emirhan Ilkhan injured.
Tonny Sanabria therefore has to be partnered by Nikola Vlasic in a more advanced role.
Toro have lost five of the last six rounds, interrupted only by a 1-0 win over Como.
However, all those defeats were by a one-goal margin, so they have been tight affairs.
The Granata have not won the Turin Derby since a 2-1 home result in April 2015, managing just five draws and 15 defeats between Serie A and the Coppa Italia.
Their last away victory over Juventus was 2-1 in April 1995.
Juventus: Perin; Savona, Gatti, Kalulu, Cambiaso; Locatelli, K Thuram; Weah, Koopmeiners, Yildiz; Vlahovic
Torino: Milinkovic-Savic; Walukiewicz, Coco, Masina; Pedersen, Linetty, Ricci, Ilic, Lazaro; Vlasic, Sanabria
