Claudio Ranieri could hand a Roma debut to January signing Devyne Rensch, but there are question marks over Paulo Dybala, while Antonio Conte could go with the same line-up as last week when Napoli visit the Stadio Olimpico in Serie A on Sunday evening.
The Giallorossi have a fixture pile-up with seven games within the space of three weeks, and are in Coppa Italia quarter-final action against Milan on Wednesday, which means that several players could be given a rest.
Sky Sport Italia predict that Dybala could still start despite playing 80 minutes during the 2-0 Europa League win over Eintracht Frankfurt on Thursday.

Napoli put in a statement 2-1 win against Antonio Conte’s former club Juventus last time out, costing the Bianconeri their unbeaten status in the process, and with it being a week since their last game, could go with the same starting line-up again.
Kick-off at the Stadio Olimpico is due at 19.45 GMT.
