Roma are forced to reshuffle for this decisive final trip to relegated Verona, but look to Paulo Dybala, Donyell Malen and Matias Soulé for Champions League qualification.
It kicks off at the Stadio Bentegodi at 19.45 UK time (20.45 CEST).
The Giallorossi know that a victory here would guarantee a top four finish and ticket to the Champions League, as they go into the last round with a two-point advantage over both Juventus and Como.
However, Gian Piero Gasperini does not have a full squad at his disposal, as Wesley is suspended following his red card in the fiery Derby della Capitale.
Evan Ndicka picked up an injury in that game, missing out with Bryan Zaragoza, Lorenzo Pellegrini and Evan Ferguson.

Daniele Ghilardi therefore steps into the back three, with Neil El Aynaoui and Devyne Rensch starting.
The big decision was believed to be between Matias Soulé and Niccolò Pisilli in support of centre-forward Malen and revitalised Dybala.
Instead, Gasperini starts all of them, leaving Neil El Aynaoui on the bench instead.

Verona were relegated weeks ago, but are fresh off a 1-1 draw with Scudetto winners Inter and have drawn three of their last four games, including away to Juventus.
Roberto Gagliardini sits out a ban, with Daniel Mosquera, Suat Serdar and Daniel Oyegoke injured.
Kieron Bowie leads the attack with Toma Suslov.
Verona: Montipò; Nelsson, Edmundsson, Valentini; Belghali, Akpa Akpro, Lovric, Harroui, Frese; Suslov; Bowie
Roma: Svilar; Ghilardi, Mancini, Hermoso; Celik, Pisilli, Cristante, Rensch; Soulé, Dybala; Malen
