The hosts had won their past two league games since sacking previous coach Igor Tudor, one of those victories coming in Spalletti's first game in charge, but a largely toothless derby display left the crowd frustrated.

The opening half was mostly one-way traffic but Juventus struggled to create any real opportunities, with some half-chances inspired by Francisco Conceicao.

The Portuguese winger played a decent ball into Dusan Vlahovic just outside the six-yard area but Torino defender Guillermo Maripan did well to get ahead of the Serbian striker to clear the danger.

Conceicao also had a shot from a wide angle go narrowly the wrong side of the upright.

If Conceicao provided a spark on the right side, Kenan Yildiz on the left is still struggling to live up to the number 10 jersey.

Yildiz was often guilty of losing possession, and on the rare occasion he managed to go past his marker, his final ball let him down.

Spalletti cut a frustrated figure on the sidelines, pacing his technical area and only standing still to take notes. But his half-time team talk did little to alter proceedings, if anything Torino grew in confidence and began to threaten.

The visitors, who had not beaten Juventus in their past 20 league meetings, never really looked like changing that statistic, but substitute Che Adams forced Michele Di Gregorio into a save with a powerful strike.

Spalletti changed things up, Edon Zhegrova and Jonathan David coming on, with Conceicao and Vlahovic, somewhat surprisingly, replaced.

Zhegrova whipped in a cross for Weston McKennie but keeper Alberto Paleari parried away the header, and try as Juventus might, a goal proved elusive.

Juve is fifth in the standings on 19 points from 11 games, two points behind Inter Milan, AC Milan and Roma, which all have a match in hand, with leader Napoli on 22 points ahead of Monday's (AEDT) game at Bologna. 

Torino, meanwhile, is in 11th place on 14 points.
