AS Roma are set to build on their impressive early-season run as they host Atalanta on Saturday at the Stadio Olimpico.

The Giallorossi arrive at this high-profile clash in outstanding shape, leading the early Serie A standings after a perfect and prolific beginning to the campaign.

They have dazzled in the opening rounds, crushing Fiorentina 4-0 on matchday one and then repeating the same 4-0 result away at Lecce in their most recent outing.

With eight goals scored and none conceded, Gian Piero Gasperini’s team brings formidable attacking momentum and a tightly organised defence into this home fixture.

AS Roma welcome several key players back to full availability, giving Gasperini more flexibility in his setup.

Paulo Dybala has fully shaken off a recent thigh strain and took part in the final training session, positioning him as the creative hub of Roma’s forward play.

In defence, Evan Ndicka has returned to the group after dealing with minor tissue inflammation, although whether he starts remains a late decision.

If Ndicka is held back, Daniele Ghilardi is ready to slot into the back line, while new signing Leonardo Balerdi is also in the squad and could make his debut.

Wing-back Devyne Rensch has overcome muscle fatigue and is back among the selectable options.

The main tactical choice for Gasperini lies in the supporting forward roles behind the in-form Donyell Malen, who leads the line after netting five times across the first two games.

Matías Soulé and Rodrigo Mora are pushing hard for places, creating a competitive battle to partner Dybala in the final third.
