Roma try to keep their stunning form going under Daniele De Rossi with Paulo Dybala and Romelu Lukaku visiting mid-table Monza.

It kicks off at the U-Power Stadium at 17.00 GMT.

You can follow all the build-up and action as it happens from this game and Torino-Fiorentina on the LIVEBLOG.

The Giallorossi have won all but one of their Serie A matches since De Rossi took over from Jose Mourinho, and reached the Europa League Round of 16 where they will face Brighton and Hove Albion next Thursday.

Rick Karsdorp and Tammy Abraham are the only players remaining on the treatment table, but they return to a four-man defence.

Dybala is fresh from a hat-trick to beat Torino 3-2 and is partnered by Lukaku and Stephan El Shaarawy.

Monza rediscovered their form recently too, unbeaten in five including a 4-2 victory over Milan.

Armando Izzo sits out a ban with long-term injury absentees Gianluca Caprari and Samuele Vignato.

Striker Valentin Carboni, on loan from Inter, is celebrating his call-up to the Argentina national team, where he will be Dybala’s teammate.
