Roma should have Chris Smalling back in defence against Torino, who will leave out goalkeeper Salvatore Sirigu against the Giallorossi.

The match kicks off at 19.45 UK time.

The Giallorossi host Torino in the last fixture of Serie A Week 12 tonight, when former England international Smalling is set for a return to the starting line-up for the first time since November 8.

He should start in a back-three with Roger Ibanez and Gianluca Mancini. Coach Paulo Fonseca seems set to give Bruno Peres a place at right too, resting Rick Karsdorp.

Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Pedro Rodriguez are tipped to start behind Edin Dzeko in attack.

Torino aim to bounce back from two straight defeats in Serie A to Juventus and Udinese, and Marco Giampaolo has asked for ‘pride’ in the Granata performance in Rome today.

Reports in Italy have linked goalkeeper Sirigu with an exit in January and expect Vanja Milinkovic-Savic to start in goal at the Olimpico.

Wilfried Singo and Riccardo Rodriguez should start out wide for the Granata, with Amer Gojak and Karol Linetty on either side of Tomas Rincon.

Sasa Lukic should support Italy international Andrea Belotti up front in a 3-5-1-1 formation.

Roma (probable): Pau Lopez; Mancini, Smalling, Ibanez; Bruno Peres, Veretout, Pellegrini, Spinazzola; Pedro, Mkhitaryan; Dzeko

Torino (probable): Milinkovic-Savic; Izzo, Lyanco, Bremer; Singo, Gojak, Rincon, Linetty, Rodriguez; Lukic; Belotti

Referee: Abisso
