Livorno host Roma at the Armando Picchi on Sunday evening in their first match since returning to Serie A.

Davide Nicola's side were promoted last season, but they face a tough test if they are to begin the new season without a defeat.

Roma boss Rudi Garcia has made several new signings during the summer, including Kevin Strootman, Gervinho and Maicon.

The Stadio Olimpico outfit missed out on a place in the Europe League this season, so they will be able to focus all their efforts on regaining a place in the Champions League.
