The Premier League game at Luzhniki Stadium on Saturday sees home side Torpedo Moscow fighting it out with Dynamo Moscow, so let’s look at the latest injury news and predicted line ups.
Torpedo Moscow will be hoping to return to winning ways here after a 3-0 Premier League losing effort in their last game against CSKA Moscow. In all likelihood, Black-Whites look set to use a 4-3-3 formation this time with Egor Baburin, Evgeniy Shlyakov, Oleg Kozhemyakin, Egor Proshkin, Bojan Roganovic, José Yordy Reyna, Mario Curic, Aleksandr Orekhov, Ilya Kukharchuk, Ilya Stefanovich and Khozhimat Erkinov.
Torpedo Moscow manager Pep Clotet will be thankful to have no fitness worries whatsoever ahead of this match thanks to a completely healthy squad available to choose from. Artem Samsonov will not be able to play in this game through being suspended.
How Torpedo Moscow could look versus Dynamo Moscow
Following on from a losing effort in their last game against Terek Grozny in Premier League competition, Dynamo Moscow and their travelling fans will hope for a better result here.
