Adem Ljajic and Daniele De Rossi have returned to Roma's starting lineup for their Serie A clash with Livorno at the Stadio Olimpico after serving suspensions.

Coach Rudi Garcia also welcomes back defender Leandro Castan after he was banned for the 4-0 win against Genoa last week.

New Livorno boss Attilio Perotti, who replaced Davide Nicola after the 3-0 defeat at home to Parma last weekend, opts for Leandro Greco and Paulo Betanin to lead the attack for his first game in charge.

Roma currently sit second in Serie A, eight points behind leaders Juventus.

Roma: De Sanctis; Torosidis, Benatia, Castan, Dodò; Pjanic, De Rossi, Strootman; Ljajic, Destro, Gervinho

Livorno: Bardi, Ceccherini, Valentini, Rinaludo, Piccini, Mbaye, Benassi, Biagianti, Duncan, Betanin, Greco
