Roma introduce Justin Kluivert after another muscular injury, while Genoa should have Domenico Criscito back from flu.

It kicks off at the Stadio Olimpico at 19.45 UK time (18.45 GMT), click here for a match preview.

Giallorossi Coach Paulo Fonseca makes his Serie A debut, but the only other new face in the starting XI will probably be goalkeeper Pau Lopez.

Jordan Veretout and Javier Pastore are not 100 per cent fit, but Diego Perotti picked up a muscular problem in training yesterday and has joined Leonardo Spinazzola on the treatment table.

Perotti had been expected to start with Cengiz Under and Nicolò Zaniolo as support for Edin Dzeko, but Kluivert is now likely to step in.

Ex-Atalanta defender Gianluca Mancini is on the bench, as Fonseca confirmed Federico Fazio and Juan Jesus are the centre-back pairing.

Genoa boss Aurelio Andreazzoli has several players missing, as Marko Pajac and Kevin Agudelo are suspended, with Riccardo Saponara, Stefano Sturaro and Francesco Cassata injured.

Captain Criscito had been in doubt after suffering from flu symptoms, but the Italian has fully recovered and will start with veteran Cristian Zapata.

The Grifone invested heavily in midfield this season, with Lasse Schone already on target in the Coppa Italia following his transfer from Ajax.

Probable line-ups

Roma: Pau Lopez; Florenzi, Fazio, Jesus, Kolarov; Cristante, Pellegrini; Under, Zaniolo, Kluivert; Dzeko

Genoa: Radu; Biraschi, Zapata, Criscito; Ghiglione, Lerager, Schone, Radovanovic, Barreca; Kouame, Pinamonti
