Above all, Lorenzo Pellegrini has flourished in a more advanced trequartista role behind lone centre-forward Dzeko.

He is given that position from the start today, flanked by Cengiz Under and Stephan El Shaarawy, with Steven Nzonzi and Daniele De Rossi forming a rugged midfield.

Javier Pastore and Aleksandar Kolarov are out injured, so 19-year-old Luca Pellegrini (no relation to Lorenzo) gets his first Serie A start.

Aurelio Andreazzoli was on the Roma bench for the 2013 Coppa Italia Final defeat to Lazio as caretaker manager and took Empoli to win the Serie B title last season.

Luca Antonelli, Manuel Pasqual and Alejandro Rodriguez are unavailable, but Miha Zajc is the talent pulling the strings behind strikers Francesco Caputo and surprise pick, 20-year-old Algeria international Ismael Bennacer.

Afriyie Acquah returns after a spell on the sidelines.

Roma are unbeaten at the Stadio Castellani since 2007.

Empoli: Terracciano; Di Lorenzo, Silvestre, Maietta, Veseli; Acquah, Capezzi, Krunic; Zajc; Bennacer, Caputo
