Just three points separate the two sides ahead of kick-off on Saturday afternoon. Udinese sit in 11th place on 44 points while Torino find themselves two positions in 13th on 41 points heading into the final four games of the season.

Hosts Udinese are looking to get back to winning ways after a 3-3 draw and a 1-0 defeat against Parma over their last two matches.

Torino are four matches unbeaten heading into Saturday’s clash against Udinese, most recently holding Champions-elect Inter to a 2-2 draw last weekend. Only the Nerazzurri and Juventus have been in better form than Toro over the last four league matches.

Kosta Runjaic has made just two changes to his Udinese line-up after last week’s draw with Lazio: Lennon Miller and Adam Buksa are called into the starting XI in place of Jakub Piotrowski and Idrissa Gueye.

Torino have also made two personnel changes after their draw with Inter last time out: Napoli loanee Luca Marianucci replaces Ardian Ismajli at centre-back and Cesare Casadei returns to the starting XI with Che Adams missing out.

Kick-off is due at 14.00 BST.
