Roma are ready to battle it out with Inter in tonight’s big showdown at Stadio Olimpico.

For Gian Piero Gasperini, the temptation to use a false nine remains alive and well.

According to Il Messaggero, Dybala in the role in the final half hour in Florence, and Gasperini is reportedly considering starting him again so as not to give the Nerazzurri defense any reference points.

The coach himself called it “an emergency solution,” but the idea continues to intrigue him.

Ferguson, further down the pecking order, is ready to come on in the second half.

Bailey will finally be back on the bench, making his first call-up after nearly two months out. “It still takes time to rediscover his best form,” Gasperini warned, but his presence is already an encouraging sign.
