Roma host Parma in the lunchtime game on Sunday, while Atalanta will be looking to return to the top of the table in a home game against Empoli.
Roma host Parma at the Stadio Olimpico today, with kick-off at 12:30 CET (11:30 GMT).
Only Bryan Cristante is unavailable for the Giallorossi. Claudio Ranieri’s only line-up doubt is for the attacking midfield role, where Stephan El Shaarawy is slightly favourite over Lorenzo Pellegrini.
