The Giallorossi have a strong chance to boost their hopes of a top-four finish. AC Milan, Juventus and Como all lost points earlier in the weekend. A victory for Roma would move them to within one point of fourth place.
Coach Claudio Ranieri welcomes back star forward Paulo Dybala. The Argentine is fit to start after recent fitness concerns. He will join Matias Soulé and Donyell Malen in a three-man attack. Midfielder Manu Koné is also available for selection in the centre of the pitch.
However, the home side face several absences. Striker Artem Dovbyk and captain Lorenzo Pellegrini are both injured. Winger Bryan Zaragoza and forward Evan Ferguson are also unavailable. Additionally, midfielder El Aynaoui serves a suspension.
Fiorentina arrive in Rome sitting in 16th position. They hold a nine-point lead over Cremonese, who occupy the 18th spot in the table. The visitors travel without five key players. Moise Kean, Roberto Piccoli, Tariq Lamptey, Luis Balbo and Niccolò Fortini all miss out through injury or illness.
Probable Line-Ups:
AS Roma (3-4-2-1): Svilar; Mancini, Ndicka, Hermoso; Celik, Cristante, Koné, Wesley; Soulé, Dybala; Malen.
ACF Fiorentina (4-3-3): De Gea; Dodò, Pongracic, Ranieri, Gosens; Ndour, Fagioli, Mandragora; Harrison, Gudmundsson, Solomon.
