Good evening and welcome to tonight’s Champions League last-16 clash between Roma and Shakhtar Donetsk at the Stadio Olimpico! Kick-off is scheduled for 7.45pm UK time.

Roma switch to the right wing, where Cassetti brings the ball under control with his chest - but the referee says he's used an arm and pulls play back

Totti lifts a ball over the defence which Taddei collects. His ball into the box from the left is poor, though, and easily cleared

Roma back on the ball, on the halfway line

Shakhtar break along the left wing, and Jadson lurks dangerously at the far post. It's lifted to the back stick and JADSON VOLLEYS! BLOCKED BY RIISE! Well-worked effort from the visitors, and a decent challenge from Riise to get the ball clear

Totti is rather robustly barged off the ball by Rat on the Roma right, but the ref is happy with the challenge. Shakhtar back in possession

FACT: Roma were drawn against Shakhtar in the 2006-07 Champions League Group Stage, winning at home and losing away.

Riise plays a one-two with Totti on his way into the area from the left wing, but can't get onto the return ball and Shakhtar have the goal kick

Vucinic chases a pass along the left wing, and draws a throw deep in Shakhtar's half

Roma switch play right, and the ball is laid off for CASSETTI TO HIT! Wildly over the bar from the overlapping fullback. Rat was the man beaten inside the box

Taddei finds Vucinic on the edge of the area, who cuts back and passes to the midfield

Taddei looks fit to continue, after some brief treatment from the medics. Roma pressing well early on in the midfield

Not an ideal start for either team. Roma wasteful in possession - kicking the ball straight out for a throw from the kick-off - before Shakhtar captain Darijo Srna goes down clutching his ankle under pressure from Taddei on the right wing

We're underway in Rome! The hosts kick off, from right to left. The referee tonight is Oleg Benquerenca, from Portugal

The players are out on the pitch, ready for the famous Champions League anthem! There's roughly 40,000 expectant fans in the Stadio Olympico tonight - 750 of which are supporting the visitors.

We're five minutes away from kick-off in the Eternal City! Don’t forget, you can keep track of all the Champions League results and fixtures

The Italian side are going through something of a meagre patch at the moment, while Shakhtar haven’t kicked a ball in anger since December because of the Ukrainian winter break! For a full preview of tonight’s match,

Roma’s owners have announced that they are in discussions with Boston Red Sox chairman Thomas DiBenedetto about a possible takeover.

FACT: Roma have won five of their last six Champions League home matches.

FACT: Shakhtar‘s Eduardo has scored three goals from just six shots in the competition so far.

FACT: Roma are the only team to qualify for the Last 16 who have not kept a clean sheet in the Champions League this season.

So, the big news is that Francesco Totti is fit to face Shakhtar, and the Roma captain goes straight into the starting XI alongside Mirko Vucinic up top. Claudio Ranieri has named a relatively attacking formation - Daniele De Rossi holds in the midfield, with Simone Perotta and Rodrigo Taddei either side of him and Jeremy Menez, Totti, and Vucinic ahead of them. Shakhtar, on the other hand, go 4-2-3-1, with Luiz Adriano holding the line alone. Former Arsenal hitman Eduardo starts on the bench
