The Giallorossi have crashed out of the Champions League, Coppa Italia and this week the Europa League, a 3-0 home defeat to Fiorentina sparking a furious fan protest.

They are just one point ahead of arch rivals Lazio and even Champions League qualification for next season is in serious doubt if their results don’t improve quickly.

Francesco Totti was a late addition to the injury list with Douglas Maicon, Kevin Strootman and Leandro Castan.

Miralem Pjanic and Seydou Keita are both suspended following the 2-0 defeat to Sampdoria, so the midfield has to be radically revamped with Radja Nainggolan returning from his ban.

The big surprises are that Seydou Doumbia and Salih Ucan get very rare and unexpected starts.

Cesena are on level terms with Cagliari and a positive result would take them out of the bottom two.

The Sea Horses have improved considerably since Coach Mimmo Di Carlo took charge, but they too have their absentees.

Franco Brienza is a big loss, along with Guido Marilungo, Ze Eduardo, Andrea Tabanelli and Luca Valzania.

Carlos Carbonero therefore takes the trequartista role behind giant Milan Djuric and extremely quick Gregoire Defrel.

Cesena: Leali; Perico, Capelli, Nica, Krajnc; Giorgi, Pulzetti, Mudingayi; Carbonero; Defrel, Djuric

Roma: De Sanctis; Florenzi, Manolas, Astori, Holebas; De Rossi, Uçan, Nainggolan; Ljajic, Gervinho, Doumbia
