Serie A official line-ups and live updates: Torino vs. Udinese

Torino coach Ignazio Abate pairs Giovanni Simeone and Che Adams up front against Udinese, while David Alaba is not in Kosta Runjaic’s starting XI.

It kicks off at 20:45 CET [19:45 BST] at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino.

Both sides go into the game on four points from their opening five matches, so a win would give either some breathing space after a sluggish start.

Torino coach Abate picks a 3-5-2. Rolando Mandragora anchors the midfield, with Gaetano Oristanio and Bragança either side of him.

Pietro Comuzzo, Coco and Ricardo Rodriguez form the back three, while Belghali and Alessio Cacciamani operate as wing-backs.

Udinese line up in a 3-4-2-1, with Ekkelenkamp and Chakvetadze supporting Unai Gomez in attack. Alaba said last week he felt ready to make his debut after joining as a free agent from Real Madrid, but Runjaic keeps faith with a back three of Abankwah, Oumar Solet and Ebosse, with Alaba on the bench.

This game brings Serie A Round 6 to a close.
