Brazilian full-back Emerson Palmieri starts at right-back for Roma as they host Palermo on Sunday night

With Alessandro Florenzi considered not fit to start the game after coming off late in the midweek draw against Austria Wien, it is Emerson who replaces him - his first league start of the season.

Elsewhere the lineup is largely as expected, with Stephan El Shaarawy partnering Mohamed Salah and Edin Dzeko in attack.

Daniele De Rossi captains the side, on what is his 395th Serie A appearance. In total, he and Francesco Totti - on the bench tonight - have now appeared in 1000 Serie A games for the Giallorossi.
