The eighth round of Italy's top competition will conclude on Sunday evening with a clash between title-chasing Juventus and Mourinho's Roma.

Basic information, news and team form

Juventus finished as high as 4th last season and for a long time, it looked like the Old Lady wouldn't even secure a Champions League spot. In the end, however, thanks to Napoli's bad luck, Juventus did manage to make it. However, for Juventus, it meant that they failed to win the jubilee 10th title in a row and the title moved to Inter Milan after 10 years. Juventus management immediately reacted to the bad luck and Italian player legend Andre Pirlo took the hit when he was replaced as manager by Juventus' new coach Massimiliano Allegri. The start of the season was very bad for Juventus, but in the last five games at least Juventus have already managed to win 5 times by outplaying the opponents and turning the game to their side. Moreover, in the last two matches, the Turin side managed to keep a clean sheet, including the derby with Fc Torino. The hero of this derby was Manuel Locatelli in the 86th minute, who arrived from Italian Sassuolo in the summer.As Roma changed coach in the summer, replacing Portuguese Paulo Fonseca with another Portuguese, Jose Mourinho. Mourinho's last stint at Tottenham didn't quite work out to his liking, but Mourinho has really found his feet at As Roma. As Roma are currently in 4th place guaranteeing a Champions League place with 15 points. In addition, As Roma has the 3rd best offence in the league. Mourinho has brought in Chelsea offspring Tammy Abraham, who already has 2 goals and 2 assists. In addition, Armenian Mkhitaryan, whom Mourinho knows intimately from his time at Manchester United, has also come alive under Mourinho. AS Roma are playing in the Conference Europa League this season and even in that league the Wolves are performing well, they managed to get 2 wins from their first two games and dominate their group with 6 points. If the Wolves' form holds up, the fans from the Eternal City have a lot to look forward to this season.

Absentees and estimated line-ups 

Both of Juventus' two main strikers, Paulo Dybala and Alvaro Morata are out with injuries, but it is possible that they will be able to pull themselves together before the final pre-match medical. In case of their absence, we can expect Moise Keane to be at the tip of Juventus' spear. The Wolves will miss Tammy Abraham, who has ankle problems. Another Englishman that Mourinho will miss is Chris Smalling who has a thigh injury. However, midfielder Nicolo Zaniola is back and should be fit for the opening kick-off.

Juventus - estimated line-up:

Szczesny - Danilo, Bonucci, De Ligt, Sandro - Cuadrado, Bentancur, Locatelli, Bernardeschi - Chiesa, Kean

AS Roma - estimated line-up:

Patricio - Karsdorp, Mancini, Ibanez, Vina - Cristante, Veretout - Zaniolo, Pellegrini, Mkhitaryan - Shomurodov
