Como striker Andrea Belotti will start against his former club Roma, while Claudio Ranieri will once again rely on Paulo Dybala as a false 9.
It kicks off at 18:00 CET (17:00 GMT) at the Stadio Sinigaglia in Como.
The home side collected just three points in the last five games and haven’t won a Serie A match since September 29, when they beat Verona 3-2.
Roma, on the other hand, won the last two competitive matches and are looking for a third consecutive win under Claudio Ranieri.

Sergi Roberto is available for Como but will start on the bench. Alberto Moreno, Maximiliano Perrone and Marco Sala are still out of action for the home side.
Roma must cope without the injured Bryan Cristante and Leandro Paredes.
Artem Dovbyk will likely start on the bench again, making room for Dybala.
Ranieri will confirm a three-man backline with Gianluca Mancini, Mats Hummels and Evan N’dicka. Manu Koné and Niccolò Pisilli will be the central midfielders in Como this afternoon.
Fans in the UK can stream the game live on OneFootball, while those in the USA can watch it on Paramount+. Sky Sport Italia, NowTV and DAZN will show the match live on TV and streaming in Italy.
