Hello and welcome to live coverage of the Serie A meeting between Roma and Inter at Stadio Olimpico!
Inter start the day in second but need a win today if they want to keep up the pressure on Juventus at the top of the table. They've lost just one of their eight matches since the restart (W5 D2) and are unbeaten in their last three. Roma are still looking to finish in the European places this season and have bounced back after a poor run of form after the restart by winning their last three games on the bounce.
ROMA STARTING XI (3-4-1-2): Pau Lopez; Gianluca Mancini, Ibanez, Aleksandar Kolarov; Bruno Peres, Amadou Diawara, Jordan Veretout, Leonardo Spinazzola; Lorenzo Pellegrini; Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Edin Dzeko.
ROMA SUBS: Javier Pastore, Carles Perez, Justin Kluivert, Yildirim Mert Cetin, Chris Smalling, Daniel Fuzato, Diego Perotti, Nikola Kalinic, Davide Zappacosta, Gonzalo Villar, Cengiz Under, Bryan Cristante.
INTER STARTING XI (3-4-1-2): Samir Handanovic; Milan Skriniar, Stefan de Vrij, Alessandro Bastoni; Antonio Candreva, Marceo Brozovic, Roberto Gagliardini, Ashley Young; Nicolo Barella; Alexis Sanchez, Lautaro Martinez.
INTER SUBS: Tommaso Berni, Romelu Lukaku, Lucien Agoume, Andrea Ranocchia, Victor Moses, Danilo D'Ambrosio, Cristiano Biraghi, Sebastiano Esposito, Daniele Padelli, Diego Godin, Christian Eriksen, Borja Valero.
The teams are out on the pitch now, with kick-off just moments away.
Inter didn't make the best start to the game but settled into a rhythm after getting their goal. They caused Roma some real problems going forward but Conte will expect his side to create more if they want to regain the lead. Roma started brightly but their goal was their only shot on target so Fonseca will be hoping for an improvement in the final third.
That's all for today, goodbye!
Inter miss the chance to close the gap to Juventus to three points and now sit five points behind the leaders. They do leapfrog back into second above Atalanta and will face Fiorentina next time out. Roma remain in fifth place, but now only have a two-point cushion over Napoli behind them. Next up for them is SPAL who were relegated earlier today.
