Gamethread: Roma vs AC Milan

The 165^th meeting between AS Roma and AC Milan kicksoff in an hour at the Stadio Olimpico. Roma received a pre-match boost with the announcement that both Rudi Garcia and Jose Cholebas won their respective suspension appeals and will be active for today's match.

We'll have the official lineups when they're available, but suffice it to say, ending the calendar year on a high note is a priority for each side, as Roma is chasing Juventus for the league lead while Milan is in the throes of a six-team battle for Italy's remaining European spots next season.

#RomaMilan ROMA (4-3-3): De Sanctis; Maicon, Manolas, Mapou, Cholevas; Keita, De Rossi, Nainggolan; Florenzi, Totti, Gervinho
