Roma-Empoli, the probable formations
Roma-Empoli, the probable formations
Roma will face Empoli on Sunday at 20:45. The Giallorossi are looking for redemption after a very negative start to the season in which they collected just 1 point, the result of the draw against Salernitana. To get out of the crisis Mourinho should deploy the pair Dybala-Lukaku. In defense debut for N'dicka who replaces the ailing Smalling.
Empoli è the only team still stuck with 0 points in the standings: they lost to Verona, Monza and Juventus. On all three occasions they didn't even score. Zanetti relies on Caputo up front supported by Baldanzi on the right and Cambiaghi on the left. Luperto-Walukiewicz central pair.
Probable lineups
ROMA (3-5-2): Rui Patricio; Llorente, Mancini, N'Dicka; Kristensen, Cristante, Paredes, Bove, El Shaarawy; Dybala, Lukaku. All: Mourinho.
EMPOLI (4-3-3): Berisha; Ebuehi, Ismajili, Luperto, Pezzella; Marin, Grassi, Maleh; Baldanzi, Caputo, Cambiaghi. All: Zanetti.
