Roma vs. Torino: Lineups & Game Thread

Buckle up. This could get ugly. Or it could beautiful. One never knows with Roma. The only certainty is uncertainty.

With his job potentially on the line and rumors of rifts with key players and arguments in the locker room, Ivan Juric faces a monumental task today against ninth-place Torino. If that sentence sounds odd, consider the context: Roma is four points adrift of their northern rivals and must topple the Toros without captain Lorenzo Pellegrini (foot) and striker Artem Dovbyk (illness), who were late scratches ahead of today's kickoff.

No matter who Juric chooses, anything short of a resounding, multi-goal victory will likely cost the Croatian tactician his spot on the Giallorossi bench. From the lack of results on the pitch to the reported near mutiny in the locker room, Juric's grasp on the job is tenuous at best. And when you add in the last-minute lineup changes, it feels like the fates are already conspiring against the veteran manager.

The lineups are in, so let's see how the squad responds to last weekend's 5-1 beatdown.
