FAGIOLI GOES DOWN
Fagioli goes down clutching his ankle after a firm-but-fair challenge from Rodriguez.
The home crowd don't like it, but their protests - and those of the Juve players - are ignored.
25'
CUADRADO STRIKES
The moment Cuadrado fired Juve level - that was the Colombian's first Serie A goal of the season.
24'
GAME SETTLES DOWN
It's all settled down a bit out there after a frantic start. Both sides with some wayward crossing.
19'
DI MARIA SEARCHES
Di Maria searches out Vlahovic with a first-time ball over the top of the defence, but Milinkovic-Savic is quickly off his line to snuff out any danger.

Juventus
GOAL! CUADRADO EQUALISES FOR JUVE!
What a start to this game! Kostic is again a nuisance down the left and sets up the equaliser with a lofted cross to the back post.
Rodriguez makes a bit of a mess of it as he holds off Rabiot but forgets about the ball, and it drops to Cuadrado who thumps a finish off the defender and into the roof of the net.

KARAMOH GOAL MAKES HISTORY
13'
JUVE PUSHING
Rabiot picks out another dangerous run fro Kostic, who tries to find a team-mate but his cut-back is intercepted.
Di Maria then has an ambitious effort from range, but blasts well over.
10'
JUVE PENALTY SHOUT
The Juve fans roar for a penalty as Kostic goes down in the box with Singo behind him, but the referee isn't interested and replays show he was right - there was no contact.
9'
KARAMOH THREATENS
A dangerous ball over the top almost finds Karamoh, but he can't quite control it and Szczesny gathers.
It's been a lively start from Juric's side, and especially that man Karamoh up front.
8'
ANOTHER TORINO SET PIECE
Karamoh skips past Danilo, whose slide tackle is late, and Torino win a free-kick on the left wing near the corner flag.
This time the delivery is way too long, though, and the chance goes begging.
5'
SHOCK START
Could this be a night of shocks in Serie A? First Cremonese, now this start from Toro...
A long way to go yet. Juve immediately look to strike back with some aggressive attacks down the right wing, but the visitors stand firm.

Torino
GOAL, TORINO TAKE AN EARLY LEAD!
What a start! Torino win an early corner. It's swung in by Miranchuk and nodded to the back post, where Karamoh is lurking unmarked to control on his chest, swivel and fire home from close range! The perfect start for Toro.

WE'RE OFF!
Juventus get things moving and the Derby della Mole is underway.
19:40
FIVE MINUTE WARNING
Get settled, because kick-off is just moments away...
19:35
INTER SLIP, NAPOLI STRIDE
Up at the top of the table, Napoli are cruising towards their first Scudetto since 1990.
The Partenopei brushed aside Empoli on Saturday, taking advantage of a shock defeat for Inter against Bologna to go 18 points clear on top.
You can read all about those games here:
19:30
CREMONESE FINALLY WIN!
Scenes in the early kick-off! Cremonese have finally got their first league win of the season and what a win, beating Roma 2-1.
Jose Mourinho saw red for dissent and left early in an embarrassing result for his side, who also lost to the Lombard club in the Coppa Italia earlier this season.
19:21
HOW THINGS STAND
Juve’s 15-point deduction means this derby is far more meaningful than it otherwise would have been.
With the adjusted total, the Bianconeri are eighth, just one point above Torino in ninth, ahead of tonight’s game.
Allegri is still hoping to push his side back into European contention, but off-pitch distractions are inevitable as Juve prepare to appeal the punishment tomorrow.
A win for the Old Lady here would push them into seventh, six points behind Atalanta.
19:15
NO AINA FOR TORO
Juric has to make do without wing-back Aina, who is suspended, so Singo is given the nod on the right-hand side.
With Vlasic out injured, Miranchuk and Karamoh will play just behind striker Sanabria in a 3-4-2-1 formation.
19:10
HERE COME THE OPPOSITION
When was the last time Torino won an away game against Juventus in the league, you ask? Erm, 1995...
19:05
Juventus
ALLEGRI SPRINGS A SURPRISE
Allegri has made a bold move tonight by handing 21-year-old Barrenechea his Serie A debut in the place of suspended playmaker Locatelli.
The Argentinian has impressed for Juve’s ‘NextGen’ side, who play in the third tier, this season and gets the nod ahead of compatriot Paredes, who is on the bench.
Another Argentinian, Di Maria, is full of confidence after his hat-trick against Nantes on Thursday, and he leads the line alongside returning danger man Vlahovic.
19:00
POGBACK?
We mean it when we say ‘long-awaited comeback’ in the headline – Pogba is yet to play a single minute of football for Juventus since returning to the club last summer.
Tonight the France international is on the bench, and if he comes on it will be his first appearance since featuring for Manchester United in a 4-0 Premier League defeat to rivals Liverpool on 19 April 2022.
