Shakhtar Donetsk have opted to lead with striker Facundo Ferreyra as they take on Serie A side Roma in the last 16 of the Champions League.

The lone frontman is to be supported by both Bernard and Marlos on the flanks, while Fred, Taison and Taras Stepanenko will be tasked with holding the midfield from deep.

As for visitors Roma, Edin Dzeko starts up top and will be given creative backing from a three sat behind, which comprises Cengiz Under, Radja Nainggolan and Diego Perotti.

The Rome club have also been able to recall Alessandro Florenzi at full-back despite some recent injury concerns.
