The Giallorossi have had an ideal start to life under new coach Gian Piero Gasperini, registering 1-0 victories over Bologna and Pisa.

Dybala came off the bench in both those games, but is finally ready to start after a serious thigh injury towards the end of last season.

He completes the trident with Soulé and surprisingly El Aynaoui, sending both Evan Ferguson and Artem Dovbyk to the bench.

It means La Joya is used as a False 9.

Wesley Franca returned from international duty with a slight muscular problem, but is still passed fit to start, while Leon Bailey is out of action.

Kostas Tsimikas and Jan Ziolkowski are on the bench for the first time, with not fully fit Lorenzo Pellegrini.

Torino coach Marco Baroni returns to the Stadio Olimpico, where he was in charge of Lazio last season, but it has been a dismal campaign so far.

He lost 5-0 at Inter on his debut, then scraped a 0-0 home draw against Fiorentina, so is still looking for the first goal of his tenure.

Zanos Savva and Perr Schuurs remain long-term absentees, with Ardian Ismajli back from injury in a new three-man defence.

Giovanni Simeone gets the nod rather than Che Adams in attack, supported by Cyril Ngonge and Ivan Ilic, while Kristjan Asllani and Cesare Casadei form the midfield.
