Serie A: Sassuolo vs. Torino – Confirmed line-ups and updates

Sassuolo turn to Armand Laurient in attack as Torino, led by Che Adams and Duvan Zapata, visit the Mapei Stadium in Serie A on Sunday afternoon.

The Neroverdi are two matches unbeaten heading into today’s clash, following a 3-1 victory over Fiorentina and a 2-2 draw away against Milan so far in December. Torino were beaten 3-2 by Milan when they met earlier this month, but have since bounced back to claim a 1-0 victory over Cremonese last weekend.

There is just four points, but five places in the table separating the two sides before kick-off.

Fabio Grosso has made three alterations to his side following last weekend’s draw against Milan: Josh Doig comes in for Fali Cande at left-back, Aster Vranckx gets the not in midfield over Kristian Thorstvedt and Armand Lauriente returns to the wing in place of Alieu Fadera.

Torino have made just one change this weekend, with Adrien Tameze coming to the back three in place of Saul Coco. Giovanni Simeone is still unavailable, so Duvan Zapata partners Che Adams in attack again.

Kick-off is due at 14.00 GMT.
