AS Roma are back in Serie A action for their Matchday 6 fixture against Empoli on Monday night, with Jose Mourinho taking his side on a visit to the Stadio Carlo Castellani. Roma suffered a shock hammering last time out in Serie A, falling to a 4-0 defeat away at Udinese.

With Europa League action separating their back-to-back away Serie A outings, Mourinho will be desperate for his side to show more of the solidity that they had been showing this season prior to that unexpected slip in Friuli Venezia-Giulia. Before, Roma had conceded just once this Serie A season and not at all from open play, as a Dusan Vlahovic free-kick was the only thing that had breached them.

Roma come into this Serie A Matchday 6 fixture on 10 points from their opening five matches, having three wins, a draw and a loss to their name. Empoli are 15th in the Serie A table with just four points from five matches.
