José Mourinho will look to Tammy Abraham and Henrikh Mkhitaryan in the first leg of the Conference League quarter-finals against Bodo/Glimt tonight.

It kicks off at 20.00 UK time.

Roma lost 6-1 in Norway in October, but the Giallorossi are a completely different team now. They are unbeaten in 10 Serie A games and have climbed five points behind fourth-placed Juventus in Serie A.

Leonardo Spinazzola, Jordan Veretout and Nicolò Zaniolo didn’t travel with the team to Norway for tonight’s game. Roger Ibanez is the favourite to get the nod over Marash Kumbulla in defence and Henrik Mkhytarian should start over Stephan El Shaarawy.

This is not the same Roma that lost 6-1 at Bodo/Glimt

Roma can win their third European game in a row for the third time in history. They have scored in the last 22 games in Europe. The last time they didn’t score in a European fixture was in October 2020 against CSKA Sofia.

Tammy Abraham is the best scorer in the Conference League, with seven goals scored so far. Circa 4oo Roma fans will be in the stands tonight.

Probable line-ups

Bodo/Glimt (4-3-3): Haikin; Sampsted, Moe, Hoibraten, Wembangomo; Veltensen, Hagen, Saltnes; Solbakken Espejord, Pellegrino.

Roma (3-4-2-1): Rui Patricio; Macnini, Smalling, Ibanez; Karsorop, Cristante, Oliveira, Zalewski; Pellegrini, Mkhitaryan; Abraham.
