The Giallorossi have an on-going injury crisis to deal with, ruling out Lorenzo Pellegrini, Bryan Cristante, Amadou Diawara, Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Cengiz Under, Nikola Kalinic, Davide Zappacosta and suspended Justin Kluivert.
Javier Pastore, Diego Perotti and Nicolò Zaniolo therefore fan out behind centre-forward Edin Dzeko, but once again Alessandro Florenzi is only on the bench.
Defender Gianluca Mancini had a successful experiment as a midfielder in Thursday’s 1-1 Europa League draw with Borussia Monchengladbach and is confirmed alongside Jordan Veretout.
Milan were held to a 2-2 draw with Lecce on new coach Stefano Pioli’s debut and he adopted a 4-3-3 formation with Rafael Leao flanked by Suso and Hakan Calhanoglu.
Despite the fact Krzysztof Piatek scored off the bench, Pioli is sticking with the same starting XI.
Samu Castillejo and Davide Calabria are back in the squad after suspension, though Ricardo Rodriguez joins Giacomo Bonaventura on the treatment table.
Roma: Pau Lopez; Spinazzola, Fazio, Smalling, Kolarov; Veretout, Mancini; Zaniolo, Pastore, Perotti; Dzeko
