Roma will be seeking to make their superiority count in the second half. Will coach Rudi Garcia be tempted to throw on Francesco Totti later in the game to try to find a winner? Club legend Totti, at 38, is no longer an automatic first choice, but is on the bench this evening.

No goals, but a fascinating first half. Roma were well on top, with Miralem Pjanic's shot against the post the closest they came to scoring. Juventus were hanging on at times and threatened only sporadically. Massimiliano Allegri has work to do with the defending champions at the break.

Roma push at the end of the first half, which has one minute of additional time, but Chiellini and Co hold strong, and it's goalless as the whistle goes.

A rare surge forward from Juve sees Paul Pogba work the ball left to Patrice Evra, who aims a cross at Paulo Dybala. The under-employed centre-forward attempts an overhead kick, but connects with the head of Roma defender Kostas Manolas. The Greece international is OK, though, and is quickly up as the free-kick is awarded his way.

Giorgio Chiellini is a little unlucky to be booked here. He seems to win the ball clearly as Roma midfielder Miralem Pjanic goes flying over his challenge. Nicola Pizzoli brandishes the yellow card, and is immediately surrounded by angry Juve players. 

For a moment, it looks as though things are going to boil over, but everyone eventually calms down. Pjanic blasts the resulting free-kick straight at Gianluigi Buffon. As you were.

Giorgio Chiellini's defending style, at times, can best be described as no-nonsense. The Juventus centre-back hacks down Miralem Pjanic, but escapes a yellow card, with referee Nicola Rizzoli feeling the ball was there to be won.

Roma will wonder how they are not in front here. Rudi Garcia's side have dominated possession, without a goal to show for it. The danger they face is that, sooner or later, Juventus are going to build a proper spell of pressure. The visitors have won a couple of set-pieces, but haven't done an awful lot with them.

So near for Miralem Pjanic. Roma's Bosnian midfielder side-foots with power from the edge of the penalty area, but the ball his the inside of the post and bounces out. Unlucky Roma.

Roma spray the ball around with confidence, but the Juventus defence is looking a little more solid after a wobbly opening. Edin Dzeko is pushing for openings, but is being kept fairly quite by Martin Caceres, Leonardo Bonucci and Giorgio Chiellini.

There's a booking for Juve midfielder Paul Pogba here as he pulls back Mohamed Salah. The resulting free-kick is whipped in at pace by Radja Nainggolan, but Chiellini gets his head to it and clears.

It's been a lively start in Rome, in a strangely subdued atmosphere. It's quieter than usual at the Stadio Olimpico because Roma's Ultras are holding a silent protest to show their anger at segregation measures introduced by police in the Curva Sud section of the stadium. Police have said ithe measures are intended to try to stop crowd trouble.

Juve are having to go direct to ease the pressure on themselves, and it's working. Mario Mandzukic has a chance from Paul Pogba's long left-wing delivery, but his touch is poor and the ball bounces out for a goal kick. Massimiliano Allegri would love to have Andrea Pirlo around to dictate the tempo in midfield, I'm sure. But those days are gone for Juve.

Roma charge forward on the break again - they've got players over, and Alessandro Florenzi is charging forward from right-back. It needs a good cross, and Florenzi's effort is woeful, dribbling harmlessly across goal like a stray ten-pin bowling ball down the gutter. A let-off for the visitors, that.

I'd be concerned if I were a Juve fan here. I know there has been a degree of player turnover there over the summer, but on the back of last weekend's 1-0 defeat at home to Udinese, this is not a convincing start by the champions.

Now Iago Falque charges through the centre of the Juve defence and lashes a shot over the bar. Keeper Gianluigi Buffon is furious with his defenders.

It's all Roma in the early stages as they win a flurry of corners - the ball breaks to Seydou Keita at the far post, and he lashes a shot horribly wide. Allegri's side are rocking here.

A spectacular start. Roma are immediately on to the attack, and Alessandro Florenzi has a penalty shout rejected as he goes to ground under Mario Mandzukic's clumsy challenge. Referee Nicola Rizzoli is not interested.

Roma coach Rudi Garcia looks cool in shirt sleeves, his Juve counterpart Massimiliano Allegri is smart in club blazer. We're under way at the Stadio Olimpico...

Roma were runners-up in Serie A last season, but their fans have greater ambitions. The players are emerging from the tunnel and we're almost ready to go.

I'd like your thoughts on all tonight's games. Is Juve's poor start just a blip, or a sign of something more serious? Can anyone stop PSG in France this season? What chance a title push from Atletico Madrid?
