Roma have omitted midfielder Radja Nainggolan from their starting XI ahead of this evening's Serie A top-two clash against Juventus at the Stadio Olimpico.
The Giallorossi have opted for Francesco Totti, Adem Ljajic and Gervinho in their attack, with Miralem Pjanic and Daniele De Rossi in the midfield, while the Belgian is dropped to the bench.
Goalkeeper Morgan De Sanctis returns in between the sticks after Lukasz Skorupski began in goal for Roma's Europa League clash away at Feyenoord last Thursday.
For table-topping Juve, Paul Pogba has failed to fully recover from a thigh injury and is among the subs, while veteran Andrea Pirlo is also out of the Old Lady's starting XI with an ankle problem.
Roma: De Sanctis, Torosidis, Manolas, Mapou, Cholevas, Pjanic, De Rossi, Keita, Gervinho, Totti, Ljajic
Juventus: Buffon, Caceres, Bonucci, Chiellini, Lichtsteiner, Vidal, Marchisio, Pereyra, Evra, Tevez, Morata
