This is a head-to-head for European positions, as an Atalanta victory would see them leapfrog Roma into fifth place, while a Giallorossi win would put them ahead of Milan in the Champions League berth.
Remo Freuler has shaken off a knock, but is probably not fit enough to start, so Mario Pasalic gets the nod in midfield.
Papu Gomez, Josip Ilicic and Capocannoniere Duvan Zapata are the usual trio in attack.
Roma must do without injured Cengiz Under, Diego Perotti, Juan Jesus, Ante Coric and Antonio Mirante, but Daniele De Rossi is back for a place on the bench.
Alessandro Florenzi is still struggling, so Rick Karsdorp starts again at right-back.
Nzonzi returns to the starting XI after dislocating a toe in training, with Lorenzo Pellegrini also back, moving Nicolò Zaniolo to a slightly wider role with Stephan El Shaarawy behind Edin Dzeko.
Roma and Atalanta have faced each other a total of 26 times. With a fixture average of 3.1 goals per meeting.
Atalanta: Berisha; Djimsiti, Toloi, Mancini; Hateboer, De Roon, Pasalic, Castagne; Gomez; Ilicic, Duvan Zapata
Roma: Olsen; Karsdorp, Manolas, Marcano, Kolarov; Cristante, Nzonzi; Zaniolo, Lorenzo Pellegrini, El Shaarawy; Dzeko
