Roma's final fixture in February pits them against seventh-placed AC Milan.
The Lupi will be looking to bounce back from the disappointment of losing 2-1 to Shakhtar in the Champions League in midweek. Milan are currently on a good run of form after a slow start to the season. Under their former midfielder Gennaro Gattuso, they have gone the last eleven games unbeaten, keeping clean sheets in each of their last four games. The most recent of which saw them progress to the Europa League Round of 16 by beating Ludogorets 1-0, setting up a tie with Arsenal. Milan made headlines by spending big in the summer, but it is one of their homegrown players who has been catching the limelight recently. 20 year old striker Patrick Cutrone has scored 13 goals in 31 games this season, more than summer signings Nikola Kalinic and Andre Silva have managed combined. He will be just one of the players Roma's defence will have to keep an eye on tonight. Roma's squad is bolstered by the inclusion of January addition Jonathan Silva for the first time. Rotation is expected from Eusebio Di Francesco, with Lorenzo Pellegrini likely to be recalled to the starting lineup, and Patrik Schick potentially being a starter. A win for Roma will help cement their place in the Champions League qualification spots, but in order to get it they will have to do what four of the last five sides to face Milan have failed to: score at least one goal.
