Roma start Francesco Totti and aim to build more confidence as they host Austria Vienna in the Europa League.

It kicks off at 20.05 UK time (19.05 GMT), follow the action from all four Italian sides in Europe tonight with the LIVEBLOG.

The Giallorossi are flying high in joint second place in Serie A after a 3-1 victory away to Napoli on Saturday and are unbeaten in their Europa League group too, so are fired up for this test.

They are top of their group alongside Austria Vienna with four points, so a win would give them one foot in the next phase.

Totti may be 40 years old, but the captain can still pick a pass like nobody else and he starts today with Stephan El Shaarawy, Juan Manuel Iturbe and a rare outing for Brazilian Gerson.

It’s a landmark match for Totti, his 100th in UEFA club competition.

Wojciech Szczesny, Edin Dzeko and Mohamed Salah are rested, but Diego Perotti, Thomas Vermaelen, Bruno Peres, Antonio Rudiger and Mario Rui are unavailable.

Daniele De Rossi continues to sit out his ban.

Austria Vienna have a full squad at their disposal, apart from suspended defender Lukas Rotpuller.

They have won all four of their European away fixtures so far this season, scoring 10 goals and conceding four, so will be eager to cause an upset at the Olimpico.
