Roma revamp their formation for this trip to bottom of the table Benevento, giving Lorenzo Pellegrini, Maxime Gonalons and Cengiz Under a chance.

It kicks off at 17.00 UK time (16.00 GMT), follow the build-up and action from all nine Serie A games on the LIVEBLOG.

The Giallorossi are starting to find their feet under new Coach Eusebio Di Francesco, holding Atletico Madrid to a draw in the Champions League and crushing sorry Hellas Verona 3-0.

Radja Nainggolan is out of action with a slight muscular problem, as is Patrik Schick, joining long-term absentees Rick Karsdorp and Emerson Palmieri in the stands.

Kostas Manolas is also rested along with Alessandro Florenzi, who made his comeback after 11 months on Sunday, so Bruno Peres, Federico Fazio and Juan Jesus form the bulk of the defence.

Gonalons and Pellegrini get a chance to shine in midfield, Turkish talent Under partnering Edin Dzeko and Diego Perotti.

Benevento are in dire straits during this first ever Serie A campaign, without a single point so far, scoring one goal and conceding 10.

They are fresh from a 6-0 humiliation at the hands of their neighbours Napoli and Coach Marco Baroni has to deal with a decimated squad.

Amato Ciciretti is the biggest loss, providing creativity and their only goal so far, but he is joined on the treatment table by Andrea Costa, Marco D’Alessandro and Luca Antei.

Pietro Iemmello has shaken off a knock to start with Massimo Coda in attack.

This is the first ever competitive meeting between these sides.

Benevento: Belec; Letizia, Venuti, Lucioni, Di Chiara; Memushaj, Chibsah, Cataldi, Lazaar; Puscas, Coda

Roma: Alisson; Bruno Peres, Fazio, Juan Jesus, Kolarov; Strootman, Gonalons, Pellegrini; Cengiz Under, Dzeko, Perotti
