Roma
The Italian outfit started the season in impressive form under new manager Jose Mourinho but they have tailed off in recent weeks and they are coming into this game on the back of four winless performances in their last six outings.
The home side will be under pressure to pick up all three points here and it will be interesting to see if they can repeat their performance against Zorya from earlier on in the season.
Possible Roma starting line-up
Rui Patricio (GK); Gianluca Mancini, Marash Kumbulla, Roger Ibanez; Stephan El Shaarawy, Lorenzo Pellegrini, Jordan Veretout, Rick Karsdorp; Nicolo Zaniolo, Henrikh Mkhitaryan; Tammy Abraham
