📋 Team News: Roma

Almost everyone can be considered, as there’s just a single fitness concern for the Roma manager Daniele De Rossi to be concerned about from an otherwise complete group. Evan Ndicka (Chest injury) will miss out. Bryan Cristante will not be able to play in this game through being suspended.

It’s our opinion that i Giallorossi could use the 4-3-3 formation with Mile Svilar, Mehmet Zeki Celik, Gianluca Mancini, Chris Smalling, Leonardo Spinazzola, Edoardo Bove, Leandro Paredes, Lorenzo Pellegrini, Paulo Dybala, Romelu Lukaku and Stephan El Shaarawy.

📋 Team News: AC Milan

AC Milan boss Stefano Pioli has a number of players out of action. Simon Kjaer (Thigh problems) and Pierre Kalulu (Collateral ligament injury) are those who can’t be considered.

There’s a good chance that i Rossoneri appear most likely to make use of a 4-2-3-1 lineup, starting the game with Mike Maignan, Davide Calabria, Fikayo Tomori, Matteo Gabbia, Theo Hernandez, Ismael Bennacer, Yunus Musah, Christian Pulisic, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Rafael Leao and Olivier Giroud.
