PROBABLE LINE-UPS

Catania (4-3-3)
Andujar; Alvarez, Silvestre, Spolli, Capuano; Ricchuiti, Carboni, Ledesma; Schelotto, Bergessio, Gomez

Diego Simeone has no suspensions to deal with but will be without the services of Giuseppe Bellusci, Cristian Llama and Fabio Sciacca on Sunday afternoon.

Roma (4-3-2-1)
Doni; Cassetti, Burdisso, Juan, Riise; Taddei, Greco, Simplicio; Totti, Vucinic; Borriello

Matteo Brighi will miss the encounter after fracturing his fibula against Milan last weekend while Simone Perrotta and Daniele De Rossi are suspended. David Pizarro is doubtful for the must-win match on Sunday after picking up a knock midweek against Inter.

Prediction
This is a must win for Roma if they hope to keep their Champions League aspirations alive but Catania won't roll over for the capital city club and will fight tooth and nail for a score draw.
