Roma look to Matias Soulè and Artem Dovbyk to emerge from the crisis, as Ivan Juric faces another of his former clubs in struggling Verona.
The Giallorossi hit their worst level of the campaign with a humiliating 5-1 defeat to Fiorentina on October 27, including Juric making two tactical substitutions in the first half-hour and reports of fiery arguments in the locker room.
Roma got back on track by squeezing past Torino 1-0 on Thursday evening thanks to the Dybala goal and hope to build on that now.
Mario Hermoso returns from suspension, though is instead out with a muscular issue, joining Alexis Saelemaekers on the treatment table.
Dovbyk missed the midweek trip to Torino and is still not at 100 per cent, but returns to the starting XI with Soulè and Lorenzo Pellegrini, leaving Paulo Dybala on the bench.
Verona have a lot of problems, as while their season kicked off with a 3-0 victory over Napoli, their recent form has been dire.
They’ve lost three on the bounce, including a 6-1 hammering at the hands of Atalanta, and suffered a painful 1-0 defeat midweek to fellow relegation battlers Lecce.
Jackson Tchatchoua and Reda Belahyane saw red in that game and are therefore suspended, with Pawel Dawidowicz, Martin Frese and Juan Manuel Cruz injured.
