It kicks off at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome at 19.45 UK time (20.45 CEST).

You can follow all the build-up and action as it happens from this game and Cremonese vs. Lazio on the Liveblog.

This could be a big crossroads in the campaign, because as Juventus and Como were both held to draws, it gives Roma the opportunity to close within a point of fourth place and Champions League qualification.

Paulo Dybala had been tipped for a return to the starting XI for the first time since January 25, making his comeback as a substitute in the 2-0 win away to Bologna, but he is again on the bench.

It’s barely been possible to see the front three of Malen, Dybala and Soulé start together.

Fiorentina are practically safe, but want one more push to be absolutely sure of escaping the relegation zone after a seven-round unbeaten Serie A run.

Their last two were stalemates against Sassuolo and Lecce, but Moise Kean, Roberto Piccoli, Niccolò Fortini and Tariq Lamptey are all still injured.

Robin Gosens and Fabiano Parisi are back in the squad, but Albert Gudmundsson has to be a False 9 with Jack Harrison and Manor Solomon in support.

Roma vs. Fiorentina line-ups

Roma: Svilar; Mancini, Ndicka, Hermoso; Celik, Cristante, Koné, Wesley; Soulé, Pisilli; Malen

Fiorentina: De Gea; Dodo, Pongracic, Ranieri, Gosens; Ndour, Fagioli, Brescianini; Harrison, Gudmundsson, Solomon

Alexander Sørloth er del av Atletico Madrid-troppen til tirsdagens avgjørende semifinale i Champions League mot Arsenal i London.
Sørloth kom aldri på banen i det første oppgjøret på hjemmebane. Det endte 1-1.
I etterkant forsøkte TV 2 å få kontakt med den norske landslagsstjernen i pressesonen, men trønderen pekte på eget lår og signaliserte at han hadde trøbbel med en skadekjenning.
I lørdagens ligakamp mot Valencia var trønderen ikke å se.
Mandag bekreftet imidlertid klubben hans at Sørloth er med i troppen på 25 mann som reiser til London. Atlético-trener Diego Simeone fikk også spørsmål om nordmannen og andre skadede spillere på sin pressekonferanse mandag kveld.
– De har gjort framgang. Vi håper at alle kan trener i kveld. Og så bestemmer vi oss i morgen tidlig, sa Simeone.
TV 2 spurte hvilken rolle han ser for seg at Sørloth kan spille i den tøffe bortekampen.
– En veldig viktig rolle. Vi trenger ham virkelig, og det var synd at han ikke kunne komme inn i forrige kamp. Vi trenger ham, enten det er i 45, 20 eller 10 minutter, svarte Simeone. (NTB)

Bazoumana Touré (20) scored Hoffenheim’s second during Saturday’s 3-3 draw against VfB Stuttgart, taking the Ivorian’s tally to 16 goal contributions in 28 Bundesliga games this season.

Amid interest from the Premier League, Hoffenheim will demand a record fee for Touré, who has a contract until 2029, should he leave the Sinsheim club this summer. That means that Hoffenheim can expect to receive at least €43.5m, the fee Newcastle United paid to sign Joelinton in 2019.

Kicker information coincides with the fee, reporting that Hoffenheim hope to receive €40m plus future bonuses, which is entirely possible considering the young winger doesn’t have an exit clause.

Touré has scored four goals and provided 12 assists for Hoffenheim this season, as the Sinsheim club eye UEFA Champions League football for 2026/27 – Christian Ilzer’s charges currently occupy sixth, but are level with Bayer Leverkusen (4^th) and Stuttgart (5^th).
