Roma have the chance to extend their unbeaten start to the Serie A season when they host Monza on Tuesday night.
Jose Mourinho’s side are coming off a 1-1 draw with Juventus and sit in 6th place with 7 points.
Meanwhile, newcomers Monza have lost all three of their opening games and are rooted to the bottom of the table.
While Roma next face Udinese, a home clash with Lombardy rivals Atalanta awaits for struggling Monza.
Monza coach Giovanni Stroppa has now lost each of his last nine top-flight games – including six with relegated Crotone last season.
Mourinho seems to have drilled his squad, who have only conceded one goal this far into the campaign.
A win for them here could see them top the log if AC Milan fail to win in their game against Sassuolo and Inter do not take full points against newcomers Cremonense.
