Torino preview: A good point at the Gewiss Stadium
Torino made the trip to Atalanta last weekend for what turned out to be a tight and tense 90 minutes.
The home side took the lead in the 35th minute but Torino responded really well and were back on terms before the break thanks to a goal from Guillermo Maripan, which proved enough to earn a share of the spoils.
Alieu Njie, Ivan Ilic, Perr Schuurs, Pietro Pellegri, Saba Sazonov, Duvan Zapata and Emirhan Ilkhan make up the list of injury concerns for Torino this weekend.
Predicted lineup: Milinkovic-Savic (GK), Lazaro, Maripan, Sosa, Pedersen, Coco, Tameze, Vlasic, Ricci, Karamoh & Adams

Genoa preview: Lost last two on the road
Genoa would have been expecting a tough game away at Fiorentina last time out and that's just what they got.
Moise Kean opened the scoring for the home side after just nine minutes and Fiorentina doubled their advantage on the half-hour mark. Genoa managed to pull a goal back through Koni De Winter in the 55th minute after good work from Aaron Martin but couldn't carve out an equaliser and lost the game 2-1.
De Winter picked up another yellow card in the Fiorentina game and will now miss the trip to Torino along with the injured Ruslan Malinovsky, Mario Balotelli, Sebastian Otoa and Mattia Bani
Predicted lineup: Leali (GK), Sabelli, Martín, Vasquez, Matturro, Thorsby, Frendrup, Miretti, Masini, Cornet & Pinamonti

Player to watch: Che Adams
Che Adams is enjoying his first season in Serie A with Torino where he currently top scores with seven league goals in 22 appearances.
The former Southampton striker raised some eyebrows when he was signed from the Championship by a Serie A side after failing to impress during his time in the Premier League.
Adams top scores for Torino this season
However, the hardworking striker has become a fan favourite at his new club which was evident when he scored both goals in Torino's last home game against Cagliari which ended in a 2-0 victory.
