Formation

So far in all four matches that Jose has managed, Roma have lined up in a 4-2-3-1 formation which has served them reasonably well. In both Serie A games, Mourinho fielded the same 11 but was forced into one change against Salernitana, which saw Carles Perez come in for the suspended Nicolò Zaniolo. He has also fielded the same side in both UEFA Europa Conference League qualifier legs against Trabzonspor. Eldor Shomurodov started the first leg before Tammy Abraham arrived at Stadio Olimpico.
