At 17.00 GMT, Juventus deal with their injury crisis when hosting a revitalised Bologna with Thiago Motta facing his old club.
Claudio Ranieri seeks his first win back on the Roma bench when taking on a tough to break down Lecce at 19.45 GMT.
Roma finally get their first win under Claudio Ranieri on his 100th game for the club.
Serie A | Roma 4-1 Lecce: Ranieri can celebrate first victory
Kone’ not done yet, springs the offside trap on a quick free kick and drills wide with a deflection, Roma corner.
Almost 4-2, because that was a screamer from Berisha outside the area that thumped the near post!
Into 4 minutes of stoppages. Lecce down to 10 after Gaspar stretchered off, as all their substitutions were completed.
Oh wow, that looks nasty. Gaspar slipped entirely by himself and his knee bent very much the wrong way.
Roma weren’t to know that and went on the counter, Manu Kone’ controlled the Pisilli through ball and drilled in from just inside the area.
He went to celebrate lifting the corner flag and is therefore booked.
Stretcher now out for Kaba. That’s a very bad one.
Fun fact: this is Claudio Ranieri’s 100th game as Roma coach in three different stints.
Dybala gets down the left and tries to cross for Abdulhamid, but it’s over-hit – and La Joya was offside anyway.
Zalewski and Hermoso on, Hummels and El Shaarawy off.

Oudin goes into the book for a foul on Paredes.
Corner comes to El Shaarawy on the edge of the box, he blasts it over the bar.
Hummels with another risky and yet clean, decisive sliding tackle on Krstovic right on the edge of the area.
Roma counter, Kaba brings down Dybala and is booked, then Abdulhamid effort deflected for a corner.
Almost great from Lecce. Almost.
Ball over the top for Oudin, who controls really well, does a back-heel flick to set up Pierotti, whose shot is so bad from inside the box that it goes for a throw-in.
Almost.

Well that was one of the dumbest things we’ve ever seen.
Referee goes over to tell Krstovic and Angelino not to push each other. So Krstovic decides to blatantly shove Angelino over. With the referee right next to them.
Lecce give it away cheaply again with Dorgu, Abdulhamid then makes up for giving the penalty away by picking a good pass, pulling it back for Pisilli to sweep first-time into the near bottom corner from 12 yards!
Already a strong Pierotti run into the box against Angelino, but Paredes comes sliding in for the block.
Perotti and Berisha on for Lecce, Coulibaly and Jean off.
Tete Morente surges forward for Lecce, but Pisilli is strong in the challenge and the referee says fair too.

Another corner cleared as far as Angelino, whose shot is charged down from outside the area.
