The Giallorossi won 1-0 against Sassuolo on Sunday, moving them joint top of the Serie A table with Napoli at the weekend. The Partenopei defeated Lecce 1-0 on Tuesday night, temporarily moving them three points behind coach Gian Piero Gasperini’s side.

Coach Gasperini was expected to have Dybala lead Roma’s attack as a false nine after scoring his first goal of the season in the previous match against Sassuolo.

However, Matthias Soule returned to the starting lineup, as did Evan Ferguson in particular, abolishing the false-nine approach.

Angelino is Roma’s only absentee due to injury, and Mario Hermoso will return to the back three, Wesley will start at left wing-back and Zeki Selik will start on the right.
