Claudio Ranieri and Gian Piero Gasperini both have relatively healthy and available squads to choose from as Roma host Atalanta at the Stadio Olimpico for the final match of the 14th round of Serie A fixtures.
Both teams are coming in off the back of positive results in Europe last week, as Roma picked up a 2-2 draw away at Tottenham on Thursday, while Atalanta thumped Young Boys 6-1 in the Champions League the night before.

Ranieri has no major injury concerns to contend with among his squad, but does have a few decisions to make in terms of personnel and tactics.
Paulo Dybala and Lorenzo Pellegrini are the preferred players in the trequartista roles, but some outlets suggest that there are some slight doubts over whether the Argentinian will start on Monday night.
Gianluca Scamacca is the only Atalanta player out with injury, although it is probably still too soon for Giorgio Scalvini to start after his cruciate ligament (ACL) injury in June, despite his return to the matchday squad last weekend.
Ademola Lookman is expected to rejoin the attack after stepping out of the starting line-up in the Champions League on Wednesday. The Dea frontline will be led by the decision’s top goalscorer in Mateo Retegui.
