Juventus and Torino meet for this season's Derby della Mole on Sunday evening at separate ends of the table.

Massimiliano Allegri's side have moved to the summit of the Serie A standings with a three-point lead over second-placed Roma.

Juve were unbeaten until late October when they suffered a shock 1-0 defeat to Genoa, but they recovered instantly to win their next three league fixtures.

All three points against this weekend's rivals will further establish their lead in the top flight of Italian football.

It's been a different story for Torino as Giampiero Ventura's men sit just three points above the relegation zone having grabbed three victories in 12 matches.

Torino haven't won a game since October and will head into this match on the back of two consecutive defeats, the latest a 1-0 loss to Sassuolo.

The stats are against Torino heading into this Sunday's contest as they have not scored in this fixture in Serie A in 12 years.

The home side will be unable to call on defenders Andrea Barzagli and Martin Caceres, while the visitors have midfielders Ruben Perez and Migjen Basha on the sidelines.
