The Aquile are in dire straits and by their own admission this derby game is their only remaining objective for the season.
That puts tremendous pressure on the players, even if they are missing suspended Senad Lulic, plus injured Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, Dusan Basta, Abdoulay Konko, Stefan Radu, Ricardo Kishna and even Etrit Berisha.
Stefano Pioli adopts a 4-3-3 formation with Antonio Candreva, Alessandro Matri and Felipe Anderson, while Miroslav Klose is ready to come off the bench.
The back four is completely revolutionised and it remains to be seen how they will deal with the prolific Roma attack.
El Shaarawy, Mohamed Salah and Diego Perotti support Edin Dzeko, but Daniele De Rossi and Francesco Totti are on the bench.
That means Alessandro Florenzi is the only genuine Roman starter for the Giallorossi.
William Vainqueur and Norbert Gyomber are injured.
