Roma are set to face Milan in a crucial Europa League return leg at the Stadio Olimpico tonight.

The Giallorossi will look to advance to their fifth consecutive European semifinal as they hold a 1-0 advantage from the first leg in the San Siro.

According most Italian media reports, Daniele De Rossi will not make any major changes to the team’s line-up with the exception of Edoardo Bove in place of Bryan Cristante.

Cristante is set to miss tonight’s game due to suspension.

Roma will rely on a 4-4-2 formation, reports La Gazzetta dello Sport, with Stephan El Shaarawy playing as the team’s wing-back on the right flank, once again to contain the likes of Rafael Leao and Theo Hernandez.

Zeki Celik will be given another opportunity to feature from the start.
