This is a huge head-to-head for Champions League qualification, as Paulo Dybala and Romelu Lukaku lead Roma against Dusan Vlahovic and Federico Chiesa for Juventus.

It kicks off at the Stadio Olimpico at 19.45 UK time (18.45 GMT).

The race for Europe’s top competition is surprisingly open, especially now there are five guaranteed entries.

Juve are on 65 points, Bologna already played and have 64, so a win for Roma would put them on 62.

At the same time, a victory here would mathematically qualify Juventus for the Champions League.

The Giallorossi are still smarting after Thursday’s 2-0 Europa League semi-final defeat to Bayer Leverkusen and the second leg is coming up next week.

Lukaku returned from injury in that match, but looked rusty, while Dybala and Leandro Paredes face their former teammates with Juve-owned Dean Huijsen also in the squad.

It seems to be a change to a 4-3-2-1 formation with Tommaso Baldanzi and Dybala supporting Lukaku, while Gianluca Mancini is not fully fit.

Kenan Yildiz and Alex Sandro do not make the trip, so Chiesa gets the nod with Vlahovic upfront.

The Bianconeri have been in dire form recently, winning only two of their last 13 Serie A matches, but did qualify for the Coppa Italia Final against Atalanta on May 15.

Roma: Svilar; Kristensen, Llorente, Ndicka, Angelino; Cristante, Paredes, Pellegrini; Dybala, Baldanzi; Lukaku

Juventus: Szczesny; Gatti, Bremer, Danilo; Weah, McKennie, Locatelli, Rabiot, Cambiaso; Vlahovic, Chiesa
