The Giallorossi are technically unbeaten this season, as the only defeat was handed to Verona due to an irregularly-fielded player.
They have been decimated by COVID and injuries, missing Edin Dzeko, Marash Kumbulla, Federico Fazio, Davide Santon, Chris Smalling and Nicolò Zaniolo.
Bryan Cristante therefore steps in as a makeshift centre-back, with Pedro and Henrikh Mkhitaryan supporting Borja Mayoral.
Parma had at least seven COVID cases a few weeks ago, but the situation has now been completely resolved.
Coach Fabio Liverani has almost a full squad to count on at last, so Roberto Inglese is flanked by Juraj Kucka and ex-Roma star Gervinho, who is still going strong at 33.
Roma: Mirante; Mancini, Cristante, Ibanez; Karsdorp, Veretout, Villar, Spinazzola; Pedro, Mkhitaryan; Mayoral
Parma: Sepe; Osorio, Gagliolo, Bruno Alves, Pezzella; Grassi, Sohm, Cyprien; Gervinho, Inglese, Kucka
