Serie A official line-ups: Roma vs. Inter

Serie A official line-ups: Roma vs. Inter It’s a top of the table Scudetto showdown with Donyell Malen, Paulo Dybala and Matias Soulé leading Roma against Inter’s Lautaro Martinez, Marcus Thuram and Curtis Jones. It kicks off at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome at 17.00 UK time (18.00 CEST). You can follow all the build-up and action as it happens from today’s four Serie A games on the Liveblog. There will be a minute’s silence before kick-off in every match, and Inter are wearing black armbands this evening, following the death of legend Sandro Mazzola at 83. MADRID, SPAIN – SEPTEMBER 08: Cristian Chivu, Manager of Internazionale, looks on before the UEFA Champions League 2026/27 League Phase MD1 match between Real Madrid C.F. and FC Internazionale Milano at Estadio Santiago Bernabeu on September 08, 2026 in Madrid, Spain.

Roma have for the first time a full squad at their disposal, as even Lorenzo Pellegrini is on the bench. Evan Ndicka has recovered and takes his place despite Leonardo Balerdi’s impressive performance on his full debut. ISTANBUL, TURKEY – SEPTEMBER 10: Gian Piero Gasperini, Manager of AS Roma, looks on before the UEFA Champions League 2026/27 League Phase MD1 match between Fenerbahce SK and AS Roma at Fenerbahce Sükrü Saracoglu Spor Kompleksi on September 10, 2026 in Istanbul, Turkey.

Once again, Soulé gets the nod with Dybala and top scorer Malen rather than summer investment Rodrigo Mora. Malen’s record is truly remarkable, scoring six goals in four Serie A games this season, 20 in just 22 Italian top flight appearances since joining from Aston Villa in January. ROME, ITALY – AUGUST 24: Donyell Malen of AS Roma celebrates scoring his team’s first goal during the Serie A match between AS Roma and ACF Fiorentina at Stadio Olimpico on August 24, 2026 in Rome, Italy.

Djed Spence is still not ready after arriving from Tottenham Hotspur with an injury, so Andy Diouf celebrates his first France call-up on the right wing, with Jones and Piotr Zielinski in midfield. Lautaro Martinez was rested against Udinese and returns to partner Marcus Thuram, with Federico Dimarco also back to full fitness after a knee issue. MILAN, ITALY – SEPTEMBER 05: Lautaro Martinez of Internazionale celebrates scoring his team’s first goal with teammate Curtis Jones during the Serie A match between FC Internazionale and SSC Napoli at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza on September 05, 2026 in Milan, Italy. (Photo by Claudio Villa/Getty Images) Unusually for Cristian Chivu’s side, they have been leaking goals lately, conceding five in the last two rounds, both comeback wins from 2-0 down to beat Napoli and Udinese. These two teams have not played a draw since the 2-2 thriller in January 2021, followed by two Roma victories and 10 Inter wins in all competition. Curiously, the Nerazzurri are unbeaten at the Olimpico since a 2-1 result in October 2016. MILAN, ITALY – APRIL 05: Marcus Thuram of FC Internazionale Milano celebrates scoring his team’s fourth goal during the Serie A match between FC Internazionale and AS Roma at Giuseppe Meazza Stadium on April 05, 2026 in Milan, Italy.
