AS Roma vs Sassuolo: Kick-off time and where to watch on TV and online

Fresh from their crucial victory over Juventus last time out, AS Roma return to action when they host Sassuolo at the Stadio Olimpico in Matchday 26 of Serie A on Sunday. The Lupi currently sit fourth in the table and are eyeing a return to the Champions League.

A rare Gianluca Mancini goal was enough to secure a 1-0 win over the Bianconeri last weekend, allowing Roma to recover from a shock loss against Cremonese, but Jose Mourinho's side must guard against complacency against Sassuolo.

The Neroverdi needed a last-gasp goal to overcome Cremonese themselves on Monday, but are in good form and have earned wins over AC Milan and Atalanta in recent weeks.

It was an eventful evening at the Stadio Olimpico when AS Roma beat Juventus and Gianluca Mancini was in the thick of all the action, making him our Serie A Player of the Week for Matchday 25.https://t.co/8N3Z1ZWcuS
