Roma coach Gian Piero Gasperini is weighing up a number of key attacking choices ahead of tonight’s Serie A showdown with Inter Milan, including potentially utilising Paulo Dybala as a false nine.

La Gazzetta dello Sport, via FCInterNews, report that the primary doubt concerns the forward line.

Gasperini could deploy Dybala as a false nine.

That setup would give the Giallorossi greater technical control and allow Lorenzo Pellegrini and Matias Soule to play closer to goal.

Should he instead opt for a more traditional striker, Artem Dovbyk is currently favourite ahead of Evan Ferguson to start.

The final decision will hinge on whether Gasperini prefers fluid movement or more direct physical presence to challenge Inter’s back three.

There are additional uncertainties on the left flank.

Kostas Tsimikas and Devyne Rensch are competing to replace the injured Angeliño.

Meanwhile Wesley is expected to retain his place on the opposite side.

Roma arrive boasting one of Europe’s most disciplined defences.

However, Gasperini knows that his side’s ability to unsettle Cristian Chivu’s Inter may depend on finding the right attacking chemistry.

The Roma boss is expected to make his final calls only hours before kickoff.
