Serie A official line-ups: Como vs. Roma

Como start Nico Paz, Maxence Caqueret and Lucas Da Cunha in this top of the table showdown with Roma, who rely on Paulo Dybala, Donyell Malen and Pierluigi Gollini.

It kicks off at the Stadio Sinigaglia at 11.30 UK time (12.30 CEST).

You can follow all the build-up and action as it happens from today’s five Serie A games on the Liveblog.

These two teams pushed out more prestigious clubs last season to secure Champions League qualification, and are hoping to repeat themselves after investing over the summer.

Cesc Fabregas stumbled in a surprising 2-0 defeat to Frosinone, which left them three points off the pace set by Inter, Roma and Lazio in top spot.

Moise Kean has been ruled out for two to three weeks by an injury when playing for Italy, but otherwise it’s a full squad to choose from.

Da Cunha is fresh from his senior France debut and pulls the midfield strings behind Nico Paz, Assane Diao and Maxence Caqueret, while Tasos Douvikas leads the attack.

Roma have a massive problem with news goalkeeper Mile Svilar suffered a stress fracture in his toe during training, so will be out for at least a month.

It means Gollini has to step in for his first Serie A match in two years, only playing once before for the Giallorossi in the Europa League.

Bryan Cristante also suffered a knee injury that ruled him out of international duty, so Marten de Roon gets his first start after the transfer from Atalanta.

Dybala and Lorenzo Pellegrini support Capocannoniere Malen upfront, sending Matias Soulé to the bench.

When these sides met last season, they each had home wins.
