The Friulani make their debut under new Coach Nicola, as Julio Velazquez was fired after a run of one point from the last seven rounds.
Antonin Barak, Lukasz Teodorczyk, Emmanuel Badu and Svante Ingelsson are out of action, but Ignacio Pussetto and Rodrigo De Paul provide South American inspiration in an all-new attack.
Kevin Lasagna is instead left on the bench, as there is no recognised centre-forward in the starting XI.
Roma need to boost their Serie A standings, but also prepare for the upcoming Champions League clash with Real Madrid.
There are some problems for Coach Eusebio Di Francesco, as Kostas Manolas returned from the break for international duty with an ankle injury.
Daniele De Rossi and Javier Pastore are also out of action, while Edin Dzeko is rested in favour of Schick.
He gets support from Kluivert, Lorenzo Pellegrini and Stephan El Shaarawy, with Bryan Cristante joining Steven Nzonzi in midfield.
The biggest change is foisted upon Di Francesco, as Robin Olsen is out with a muscular problem, so veteran Antonio Mirante gets his season debut.
Roma have won all of their last 10 Serie A games against Udinese. The last time the Zebrette defeated the Giallorossi was in 2011, when two late goals by Antonio Di Natale and Mauricio Isla secured a 2-0 victory for the Friuliani.
