These are two of the most unpredictable sides in Serie A and often promise plenty of goals in their matches.

The Giallorossi lost at Torino last week and crushed Astra Giurgiu 4-0 on Thursday evening, so hope that home form can get them through.

Frank de Boer’s men had won three in a row in Serie A, including a 2-1 victory over Juventus, then stalled 1-1 with Bologna and were humiliated 3-1 by Sparta Prague in the Europa League.

Luciano Spalletti makes many changes, dropping Radja Nainggolan and Francesco Totti, but moving Florenzi into a new role in the trio supporting Edin Dzeko.

He’s flanked by Mohamed Salah and Diego Perotti, while ex-Inter defender Juan Jesus starts at left-back and Roma effectively mirror the Inter formation.

Thomas Vermaelen, Mario Rui and Antonio Rudiger remain long-term injury absentees.

Inter are only missing Marco Andreolli, as Joao Mario has recovered from a back problem to start in midfield.

Joao Miranda is also back following a muscular twinge that ruled him out against Bologna last week.

Antonio Candreva, Ever Banega and Perisic fan out behind Capocannoniere Icardi.

The Nerazzurri haven’t won away to Roma in Serie A since a 4-0 triumph in October 2008, followed by three draws and four defeats.

Inter conceded the first goal in seven of their eight competitive games so far this season.

Roma: Szczesny; Peres, Manolas, Fazio, Jesus; De Rossi, Strootman; Salah, Florenzi, Perotti; Dzeko

Roma bench: Alisson, Lobont, Emerson, Paredes, Seck, Gerson, Iturbe, Totti, El Shaarawy, Nainggolan
