Edin Dzeko is in the starting XI for Roma as they visit Sampdoria in a rescheduled Serie A match from Week 3.
Follow all the build-up and action as it happens from this game and Lazio-Udinese on the LIVEBLOG.
This fixture was originally rained off on September 10 with Orange Alert weather warnings in the city of Genoa.
The situation has changed somewhat since then, as the Giallorossi are stuttering and above all it’s the swansong for Dzeko, who is expected to complete his transfer to Chelsea later this week.
Emerson Palmieri is going with him, but while the Brazilian left-back is on the bench, Dzeko is in the starting XI.
So is Radja Nainggolan, despite a calf problem, while Stephan El Shaarawy and Lorenzo Pellegrini are carrying muscular issues too.
Daniele De Rossi, Diego Perotti, Maxime Gonalons and Rick Karsdorp are out of action.
Sampdoria have rediscovered their form after a shaky period over Christmas and much of that is thanks to star striker Fabio Quagliarella.
He turns 35 next week, yet has shattered his own personal record with 15 Serie A goals this season in only 20 appearances.
Quagliagol leads the way with Duvan Zapata and Gaston Ramirez, while Lucas Torreira has impressed sufficiently to earn links with Roma, Juventus, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid.
Sampdoria: Viviano; Bereszynski, Silvestre, Ferrari, Strinic; Praet, Torreira, Linetty; Ramirez; Duvan Zapata, Quagliarella
Sampdoria bench: Puggioni, Tozzo, Regini, Dodo, Murru, Andersen, Capezzi, Verre, Barreto, Alvarez, Kownacki
Roma: Alisson; Florenzi, Manolas, Fazio, Kolarov; Pellegrini, Strootman, Nainggolan; Defrel, Dzeko, Cengiz Under
Roma bench: Skorupski, Lobont, Juan Jesus, Moreno, Peres, Nura, Antonucci, Emerson, Schick, Gerson
