Roma look to Lorenzo Pellegrini, Matias Soulé and Artem Dovbyk as they try to build momentum against a Verona side fresh from taking points off Juventus.
It kicks off at the Stadio Olimpico at 14.00 UK time (13.00 GMT).

Gian Piero Gasperini has got off to a strong start on the Roma bench, winning all but one of his matches in charge, including Wednesday’s Europa League visit to OGC Nice.
The mood is confident following the Derby della Capitale victory over Lazio, so Pellegrini is again chosen in attack with Soulé, but Artem Dovbyk keeps his spot upfront rather than Evan Ferguson.
Paulo Dybala and Leon Bailey are still out of action and probably won’t return until after the next break for international duty.

Verona are still looking for their first win of the season, but their only Serie A defeat was 4-0 at Lazio, drawing with Udinese, Cremonese and most recently Juventus.
However, they were knocked out of the Coppa Italia midweek on penalties by local rivals Venezia.
Injuries are piling up for Daniel Mosquera, who had surgery to remove his appendix, Daniel Oyegoke, Abdou Harroui, Nicolas Valentini and Tomas Suslov.
At least Roberto Gagliardini returns to the bench, but Giovane and Gift Orban lead the attack again.
Victor Nelsson faces his former club, having spent six months at Roma last season on loan from Galatasaray.
