Roma bring 28 Serie A goals in 10 games to a Manchester United side winless in nine

Roma have scored 28 goals in their first 10 Serie A fixtures, more than they had managed at this stage in any previous season, according to reporting ahead of Tuesday's Champions League match at Old Trafford. Donyell Malen has eight league goals and 11 in 12 appearances across all competitions. That is a strong attacking case for Roma, and the forecast does not dismiss it. Still, the lean is that Roma do not win in the 90 minutes plus stoppage time. That covers a draw as well as a Manchester United victory, and the forecast does not claim United will win outright. Roma's team news gives United some encouragement. Reports indicate Dybala (calf), goalkeeper Svilar (toe), Koné and Pellegrini (both hamstring) were all absent or listed with problems before the trip, and Roma's line-up at Udine was reportedly rotated with United in mind. Roma stayed unbeaten in Serie A with a convincing win there. United have their own problems. They are without a win in nine after a 2-0 loss at Chelsea on Saturday 31 October, in which Lisandro Martinez was sent off. Rashford and Shaw remained absent, and Amad Diallo was reportedly forced off with an apparent muscular issue. Kobbie Mainoo has returned to the squad. Michael Carrick is expected to still be in charge on Tuesday. The thing to watch is Svilar's fitness. If Roma's first-choice goalkeeper is passed fit, their case strengthens.
