Roma absolutely have to win in order to keep up with the others in the push for not just the Champions League places, but even the Europa League.
Atalanta, Milan, Lazio and Torino have already won this weekend, while Inter host bottom of the table Chievo tomorrow evening.
Claudio Ranieri therefore packs the XI with quality in a 4-3-3 formation, using Nicolò Zaniolo and Lorenzo Pellegrini in midfield, with Justin Kluivert, Edin Dzeko and Stephan El Shaarawy upfront.
Juventus will have a decisive role in the race for the top four, because they take on Roma tonight and Atalanta next week.
Federico Bernardeschi sits out a ban, with Leonardo Bonucci, Daniele Rugani, Moise Kean, Mario Mandzukic, Douglas Costa, Sami Khedira and Mattia Perin injured.
Max Allegri revamps the defence, using Mattia De Sciglio and Leonardo Spinazzola as the full-backs, with Martin Caceres stepping into the centre.
It’s a new trident with Juan Cuadrado, Paulo Dybala and Cristiano Ronaldo, although those three could rotate their positions frequently.
Roma have failed to score in five of their last six league games against Juventus, including three on the bounce. The only time they fired blanks in four consecutive Serie A meetings with Juve was from 1948-49.
Expect goals, because the Giallorossi have found the net in each of the last nine rounds, while Juve haven’t kept a clean sheet in five.
Juventus will also wear their new 2019-20 kit, which controversially does away with the black-and-white stripes.
Roma: Mirante; Florenzi, Manolas, Fazio, Kolarov; Zaniolo, Nzonzi, Lo Pellegrini; Kluivert, Dzeko, El Shaarawy
Juventus: Szczesny; De Sciglio, Caceres, Chiellini, Spinazzola; Emre Can, Pjanic, Matuidi; Cuadrado, Dybala, Ronaldo
