Roma midfielder Daniele De Rossi has claimed that his side "have to win" their Serie A match with Juventus on Monday evening.
The Giallorossi currently trail league leaders Juve by nine points in the table and De Rossi admits that they cannot afford any more slip ups.
"We had imagined a different situation in the table, and we were hoping that this would be a chance to overtake Juventus in the league," he told Sky Sport Italia.
"Unfortunately we fell asleep during the season, but we have to win on Monday night."
Roma have drawn six of their last seven games in the league.
