Juventus midfielder Andrea Pirlo has admitted that he is wary of the threat posed by Torino in their Serie A match this evening.

The Bianconeri will be looking to continue their unbeaten home run in the league and record a second win in the Turin derby this season.

"Torino are a well-organised side who play good football and score many goals with Ciro Immobile and Alessio Cerci," Pirlo told La Stampa.

"They have already secured safety, unlike previous seasons when they'd play us with a sense of fear. Now they know a victory over Juve would add something extra to the campaign, whereas for us it would be a slip-up in the Scudetto race.

"We are aware the title depends only on us, because we have an advantage, but Roma play well and it'll be a fight to the end. Therefore, we cannot drop points along the way."

Juventus are six points clear at the top of the Serie A table.
