Serie A official line-ups: Udinese vs. Roma

Roma bring Rodrigo Mora and Matias Soulé into the starting XI behind Donyell Malen, as Udinese hope Nicolò Zaniolo and Keinan Davis can dig them out of a crisis.

It kicks off at the Bluenergy Stadium in Udine at 17.00 GMT (18.00 CET).

The Giallorossi need a win to keep up with the joint leaders Inter and Lazio, as after three draws in four league games, they got back on track with a hard-fought 4-2 victory over Cagliari.

Paulo Dybala, Mile Svilar, Manu Koné and Lorenzo Pellegrini are still out of action, while Gianluca Mancini is rested ahead of the Champions League clash with Manchester United.

Rodrigo Mora is rewarded with a rare start, partnering Soulé in support of top scorer Malen.

Evan Ndicka, Marten de Roon and Nahuel Molina however get no time off to prepare for Old Trafford on Tuesday.

Udinese ended their run of six consecutive defeats with a 0-0 draw at Parma midweek, where Maduka Okoye saved the Adrian Bernabé penalty.

Coach Kosta Runjaic is hanging by a thread, but also has a huge injury crisis to deal with, as Oumar Solet, David Alaba, Alessandro Zanoli, Idrissa Gueye and Vakoun Bayo remain on the treatment table.

Zaniolo faces his former club, having left Roma in bitter circumstances, with Jurgen Ekkelenkamp and Davis upfront.

Lennon Miller is preferred to Jakub Piotrowski in midfield.
