Paulo Dybala is favourite over Tommaso Baldanzi for Roma against Udinese, while Bryan Cristante will start being suspended against Milan next week.

The Giallorossi visit Udinese at 17:00 UK time (GMT+1) and Daniele De Rossi will slightly rotate ahead of next week’s Europa League quarter-final second leg against Milan at the Stadio Olimpico.

Cristante will be suspended next week, so he’ll start against Udinese today, joining Leandro Paredes and Houssem Aouar in central midfield. Lorenzo Pellegrini, Chris Smalling, Stephan El Shaarawy and Leonardo Spinazzola will rest while Dybala remains favourite over Tommaso Baldanzi.

Only the injured Sardar Azmoun is not available for the Giallorossi.

Udinese must cope without Brenner, Davis, Ebosse, Deulofeu, Ebosse, Lovric and Thauvin who are all injured.

Roberto Pereyra will start as an attacking midfielder behind Italy international Lorenzo Lucca.

The Bianconeri have won just four matches this season but are two points above 18th-placed Frosinone in the Serie A table while Roma are four points below 4th-placed Bologna with a game in hand.
