Italian Serie A live: Jose Mourinho’s AS Roma entertain high-flying Atalanta

Luis Muriel has a good record against AS Roma having netted seven times in Serie A at the expense of I Giallorossi.

However, the 31-year-old Colombian is yet to score in four league games this season.

If he fails to register today it will equal his worst start to a campaign since going five games without a goal at Udinese during the 2014-15 season.

“There is something in me saying I want to do even better. As a character, that's how I thrive. I look at Erling Haaland who is the most talked-about player in the world right now. I use it as a secret motivation, to try to reach that level, hit those targets. Other players' success, that is what gets me going."

More from Tammy Abraham on what motivates him to improve.

“He's talented. As good as he is on FIFA. He brings leadership qualities as well even though he looks like he's 12 years old! He's got that experience of winning trophies at Juve which is what we needed. It's good for me personally, we are building that partnership.”

“I must say that Mourinho is doing a fantastic job at Roma. Especially with the kind of enthusiasm he brought to the club. Roma have greatly improved with Mourinho’s leadership.”

Atalanta have picked up 14 points from a possible 18 on offer and shipped just three goals so far in Serie A. It represents their best start to a top-flight campaign.
