WI: Western Roman Empire exists in the time of the Vikings

The Western Empire fell in 476 and the first major Viking raid occurred in 793, so they missed each other by a few hundred years. Let’s say, for the debate, that the Western Roman Empire is still intact at the time of the Viking raids and still has its territorial integrity. Hence this means they have not pulled out of Britain yet. I know it is highly unluckily the Western Empire survives this long, but let’s just say they magically did and are in some sort of stable position. Can the Romans combat this new threat?
