The Giallorossi are in crisis with only one victory all season, the last-gasp opener away to Torino, and are torn between the need to end that disastrous run and resting players ahead of this weekend’s Derby della Capitale showdown with arch rivals Lazio.

In truth, this too is a local derby, as Frosinone also hail from the Lazio region.

Edin Dzeko, Alessandro Florenzi, Bryan Cristante and Lorenzo Pellegrini are among those rested, with Davide Santon stepping in.

Coach Eusebio Di Francesco shakes up his tactics with a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Cengiz Under, Pastore and El Shaarawy fanning out behind Schick.

Diego Perotti is not fully fit due to a muscular issue.

Daniele De Rossi marks his 600th competitive appearance in a Roma jersey over 18 different seasons, in which he has so far scored 61 goals.

Frosinone were promoted only in June after a very controversial play-off against Palermo and have one point from their five rounds so far.

Coach Moreno Longo must do without injured Federico Dionisi, Raffaele Maiello, Luca Paganini, Mirko Gori and Ardaiz.

Andrea Pinamonti leads the attack with Camillo Ciano, as Francesco Cassata and Lorenzo Crisetig come in to midfield.

Roma: Olsen; Santon, Manolas, Fazio, Kolarov; De Rossi, Nzonzi; Cengiz Under, Pastore, El Shaarawy; Schick.

Roma bench: Mirante, Fuzato, Florenzi, Karsdorp, Marcano, Juan Jesus, Luca Pellegrini, Zaniolo, Cristante, Lorenzo Pellegrini, Kluivert, Dzeko

Frosinone: Sportiello, Goldaniga, Ariaudo, Capuano, Zampano, Chibsah, Crisetig, Cassata, Beghetto, Ciano, Pinamonti
