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

This is a huge clash for fourth place, as the two teams are locked together on 51 points, and both were leapfrogged by Juventus on 53 following last night’s victory away to Udinese.

Cesc Fabregas has truly turned Como into a force of Italian football and they’ve won their last three on the bounce, as well as playing the Coppa Italia semi-final against Inter.

The season is over for Jayden Addai with a torn Achilles tendon, while Maxi Perrone is struggling after a knock.

Fabregas again goes for the False 9 with Nico Paz taking that role, supported by Maxence Caqueret and Baturina, as Sergi Roberto steps into midfield.

The big surprise is Fabregas starting a three-man defence, which he very rarely does.

Roma are stretched thin after Thursday’s 1-1 Europa League draw with Bologna, especially as Evan Ndicka is suspended in defence.

The biggest problems are in attack, with Matias Soulé, Paulo Dybala, Artem Dovbyk and Evan Ferguson still out injured.

At least Wesley returns from his ban, but the Giallorossi are without a victory in three competitive games and lost 2-1 to Genoa last week.

Koné is back in action after a muscular issue, while Mario Hermoso is given his first start since February 2.

Malen has made a remarkable impact since arriving from Aston Villa in January, scoring six goals in nine official games, and today he is supported by Lorenzo Pellegrini and Stephan El Shaarawy.
