Romelu Lukaku and Paulo Dybala are set to start for Roma against Nikola Krstovic's Lecce at the Stadio Olimpico today.

It kicks off at 17:00 GMT.

Roma aim to bounce back after a disappointing 1-0 loss against Inter last week. Renato Sanches and Dybala are back, but only the Argentinean is expected to start. Chris Smalling, Lorenzo Pellegrini, Leonardo Spinazzola, Tammy Abraham and Marash Kumbulla are injured, while Leandro Paredes is suspended.

Mourinho will likely stick to a 3-5-2 formation but a little more attacking than usual, as Stephan El Shaarawy is expected to start on the left wing with Dybala and Lukaku in attack.

Dybala has been out of action for nearly a month after suffering a minor collateral ligament injury on October 8 in a 4-1 win against Cagliari.

Lecce were eliminated from the Coppa Italia at the hands of Parma earlier this week but will see many regular starters return to the starting XI, including Krstovic and Sweden international Pontus Almqvist.

Roma vs. Lecce - probable line-ups

Roma (3-5-2): Rui Patricio; Mancini, Llorente, N'Dicka; Karsdorp, Bove, Cristante, Aouar, El Shaarawy; Dybala, Lukaku.

Lecce (4-3-3): Falcone; Gendrey, Baschirotto, Pongracic, Dorgu; Kaba, Ramadani, Rafia; Almqvist, Krstovic, Banda.
