CONFIRMED lineups for Roma v Leverkusen clash

Leverkusen are looking for revenge this season against a Roma side that knocked them out of the Europa League final last season after eliminating them 1-0 on aggregate in the semi-finals. 

As fate would have it, the two clubs meet again at the same stage of the competition a year later, although the Bundesliga side's form going into the match is incomparable to that of the previous year. 

Xabi Alonso's side are still unbeaten this season, and have already been crowned Bundesliga champions with three games to spare and are in the German Cup final against second division side Kaiserslautern. 

Victory away to Danielle de Rossi's side would mean a step closer to the coveted treble Leverkusen are striving for, something that would see them enter the history books of German football. 

Roma starting XI: Svilar (GK); Karsdorp, Mancini, Smalling, Spinazzola; Cristante, Paredes, Pellegrini; Dybala, Lukaku and El Shaarawy.

Leverkusen starting XI: Kovar (GK); Tapsoba, Tah, Stanistic; Xhaka, Andrich; Hincapie, Frimpong; Grimaldo, Adil and Wirtz.
