Welcome!
Good evening and welcome to The Independent's live coverage of Torino vs Juventus in the Turin derby! Enough chatter...here's the team news:
It's a first Derby della Mole for Cristiano Ronaldo. His Juventus side are still unbeaten and racing clear at the top of Serie A. A win today would be a big statement.
Torino, though, will have hopes of pulling off an upset. They're in good form, unbeaten in four games, and sit in sixth. Expect a full-blooded encounter, and a raucous atmosphere at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino.
We're underway in Turin. It's very loud, but this Juventus team appear unflappable. Can they get their 15th league win of the season?
