This is a very special occasion with a unique atmosphere at the Stadio Olimpico, as everyone will be willing captain Totti a goal to mark his birthday.
He starts with Mattia Destro and Adem Ljajic, as Gervinho is rested ahead of the Champions League trip to Manchester City.
There is an extensive injury list for the joint Serie A leaders to deal with, including Daniele De Rossi, ex-Verona star Juan Manuel Iturbe, Leandro Castan, Kevin Strootman, Davide Astori, Marco Borriello and Salih Ucan.
Verona aren’t in much better shape when it comes to absentees, as they are missing Jacopo Sala, Lazaros Christodoulopoulos, goalkeeper Rafael Andrade, Alessandro Agostini, Francesco Benussi, Ivan Martic and Rafael Marquez.
Emil Hallfredsson is on compassionate leave following the death of his father this week.
Panagiotis Tachtsidis faces his former club, while Moldova international Artur Ionita starts after scoring twice in as many games.
Surprisingly, both Toni and Saviola are rested, but could come on for the second half, giving ex-Cagliari man Nene the centre-forward role.
They are without both first and second choice goalkeepers, so 19-year-old former Manchester United youth team shot-stopper Pierluigi Gollini starts again.
