Roma aim to follow up on the win against Genoa and put themselves in a good position to qualify ahead of the trip to Ukraine.
Fonseca confirms the three-man defence, with Gianluca Mancini, Chris Smalling and Marash Kumbulla starting at the back.
The three centre-backs should start ahead of Pau Lopez in goal, whilst Bryan Cristante is tipped for a place in the middle with Gonzalo Villar, meaning Amadou Diawara will most likely start on the bench.
Rick Karsdorp is expected at right and Leonardo Spinazzola at left, whilst Pedro Rodriguez and Lorenzo Pellegrini should support Mkhitaryan in attack.
Shakhtar are expected to start with Maycon as the deep-lying midfielder, with Tete, Marlos, Marcos Antonio, and Taison behind Junior Moraes.
Roma (probable): Pau Lopez; Mancini, Smalling, Kumbulla; Karsdorp, Villar, Cristante, Spinazzola; Pedro, Pellegrini, Mkhitaryan
Shakhtar Donetsk (probable):Trubin; Dodo, Vitao, Matviienko, Ismaily; Maycon; Tete, Marlos, Antonio, Taison; Moraes
Referee: Dias (POR)
