The Giallorossi are still top of the table, though the record-breaking run of 11 opening victories came to a halt with a 1-1 at Torino.

Francesco Totti and Mattia Destro are still out injured, but Gervinho returns from his lay-off for a place on the bench.

Mehdi Benatia is suspended, but Leandro Castan’s ban has expired, so Nicolas Burdisso remains at centre-back.

There’s a more attacking trident than usual, as Marco Borriello and Adem Ljajic start together with Alessandro Florenzi, returning Miralem Pjanic to midfield.

Sassuolo are in their first ever Serie A season and last week earned a thrilling 4-3 victory at Sampdoria.

Simone Zaza returns from suspension for a spot on the bench and Domenico Berardi is definitely one to watch, as the 19-year-old bagged a hat-trick at Marassi.

Emanuele Terranova and Gomes are unavailable for Coach Eusebio Di Francesco, who won the Scudetto at Roma in 2001.
