GOOD OMENS FOR JUVE
Remember, Juventus have not lost in the Turin derby since April 2015. The visitors have an awful lot of work to do if they wish to put an end to that run.
27'
TORINO STRUGGLING
After a bright start, Torino have lost their way somewhat. Conceding the opener has taken the wind from their sails.

WATCH: DE LIGT HEADS JUVE IN FRONT
A fantastic header, but the defending was non-existent.

STINGING SHOT!
Juventus are growing in confidence now as they create another opportunity. A cross is pulled back into the path of Dybala whose shot is straight at Milinkovic-Savic. He can only parry it.
19'
EXCELLENT DEFENDING
Cuadrado tries to catch the goalkeeper out from the resulting corner as he swings it towards goal, but Belotti is covering the near post and makes an excellent headed intervention.
18'
NOT FAR AWAY
Juventus win a free-kick on the left. Alex Sandro's whipped delivery is dangerous, Mandragora gets his head to it... it could go anywhere... but the Torino man is fortunate to watch it sail behind for a corner. Almost an unfortunate own goal!
17'
WIDE!
Singo should do better from the resulting set-piece. He makes a run to the near post and meets the delivery with a glancing header but can't direct it on goal.
16'
DE LIGT CHALLENGE
The Dutch international proves just effective at the back as he makes an important challenge on Belotti just as he was about to pull the trigger.
15'
SUCKER PUNCH FOR TORINO
They switched off for a moment and are duly punished.
Their recent record in this fixture has been horrible and despite dominating the early stages they somehow find themselves behind.

GOAL! JUVENTUS 1-0 TORINO (MATTHIJS DE LIGT)
Against the run of play, Juventus take the lead!
The unmarked De Ligt attacks a corner delivery at the back post and he squeezes it past the goalkeeper with a downward header.

SO CLOSE!
Juventus almost score with their first effort on goal!
A rapid counter-attack sets Rabiot behind the Torino defence. But he gets too much bend on his shot and fails to find the bottom corner he was searching for as he drags it wide.
10'
MORE DANGER
Brekalo gets in behind the Juventus defence down the left, he cuts it back in search of Belotti but the faintest of touches from Szczesny's boot takes it away from his grasp.
8'
NO WAY OUT FOR JUVE
The hosts are currently pinned in their own half and have been for the majority of the match so far.
7'
TORINO REGISTER FIRST ATTEMPT AT GOAL
Mandragora just keeps running and running, moving closer to goal but his effort lacks the power required to test Szczesny.
Tonight is going to be a challenge for Juventus' makeshift defence, if the opening minutes are anything to go by. Losing Rugani has disrupted Allegri's tactical plan.
5'
BRIGHT START FROM THE GRANATA
The visitors are looking confident and have enjoyed the lion's share of possession in the opening five minutes.
4'
CLEAN TACKLE?
Belotti has acres of space to turn into as he drives towards Juventus' penalty area. De Ligt makes a recovering challenge from behind and the referee deems that to be a fair one.
3'
BELOTTI IMMEDIATELY INVOLVED
Torino's star man wins a free-kick. Brekalo delivers into a packed Juventus penalty area but the referee spots a foul to ease the pressure on the hosts.
