The last time Mancini was on the Inter bench, these two clubs were fighting for the Scudetto, Coppa Italia and Italian Super Cup in a post-Calciopoli landscape.

Missing Hernanes, Yuto Nagatomo, Nemanja Vidic and Jonathan, the Coach picks ex-Roma stars Osvaldo – who was practically drummed out of the club by angry fans – and Dodò.

Mateo Kovacic has a bruised toe, so is on the bench with Mauro Icardi, as Mancio aims to maintain his unbeaten record since replacing Walter Mazzarri.

Roma are still without Leandro Castan and Vasilis Torosidis, but welcome back Douglas Maicon from over a month out to face his old club.

Francesco Totti has put 12 goals past Inter in his career, including some memorable stunners, and leads the trident with Adem Ljajic and Gervinho. Daniele De Rossi and Alessandro Florenzi are rested after a 1-1 Champions League draw at CSKA Moscow.

The Giallorossi have won all six Serie A home games this season without conceding a single goal. The last opponent to net at the Olimpico was Osvaldo, when he gave Juventus a 1-0 victory on May 11.
