Torino will be hoping to get back to winning ways when they host Como in Serie A in the second fixture on this weekend’s schedule.
The Granata have lost three matches in succession in the league, all three of which ended with a 3-2 scoreline, despite having topped the table in the early stages of the season.
Como’s story goes in reverse. They endured a poor start to the 2024-25 campaign, but have since steadied the ship with two wins, one draw and one loss over their last four Serie A games, including a particularly impressive 3-2 win over Champions League outfit Atalanta.
Paolo Vanoli and Torino will have to do without Duvan Zapata for the rest of the season, so Antonio Sanabria joins Che Adams in the attacking unit of a 3-5-2.
Cesc Fabregas has named a relatively settled Como line-up. There are no changes to the attacking department that includes Patrick Cutrone, Gabriel Strefezza, Nico Paz and Alieu Fadera.
Maxi Perrone and Sergi Roberto start in midfield again, while Ignacio van der Brempt drops out of the back-line and is replaced by Edoardo Goldaniga.
Kick-off is due at 19.45 BST.
Torino (3-5-2): Milinkovic-Savic; Walukiewicz, Maripan, Coco; Lazaro, Vlasic, Linetty, Ricci, Masina; Sanabria, Adams.
Como (4-2-3-1): Audero; Kempf, Goldaniga, Dossena, Moreno; Perrone, Sergi Roberto; Strefezza, Paz, Fadera, Cutrone.
