Serie A official Week 25 line-ups: Parma vs. Roma | OneFootball

Roma must do without Paulo Dybala for the trip to struggling Parma, so Matias Soulé, Lucas Gourna-Douath and Anass Salah-Eddine start.

It kicks off at the Stadio Tardini at 17.00 GMT.

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

The Giallorossi are fresh off a frustrating 1-1 Europa League play-off draw at FC Porto, where Claudio Ranieri uncharacteristically lost his temper with the referee.

Dybala also sustained a knee injury during that game and is therefore out of action here, along with Devyne Rensch and suspended Bryan Cristante.

Squad rotation is necessary ahead of Thursday’s decisive second leg, so Eldor Shomurodov starts upfront rather than Artem Dovbyk, with support from Soulé in a 3-5-2 formation.

Leandro Paredes returns to the Roma starting XI, with new signings Gourna-Douath and debutant Salah-Eddine, both cup-tied.

Parma have been really struggling recently, managing just one win and two draws in the last 10 Serie A games.

Losses to Lecce and Cagliari have seen them sucked back into the bottom three, so the pressure is really on coach Fabio Pecchia.

He has a lengthy absentee list to deal with and lost January signing Milan Djuric to a serious knee ligament injury.

Others out of action include Valentin Mihaila, Gabriel Charpentier, Adrian Benedyczak, Mateusz Kowalski, Alessandro Circati and Yordan Osorio.

Matteo Cancellieri and Dennis Man therefore support Ange-Yoan Bonny upfront.
