There have been reported disputes over cabinet positions behind the scenes.
But politicians in Mr Poroshenko`s coalition say they now have enough members for a wafer-thin majority.
Oleksiy Honcharenko told Interfax news agency there was a coalition of 226 out of the 450-member parliament.
"The president has said he is ready to immediately submit to the parliament Groysman`s nomination for the post of prime minister, and we will immediately vote for it," the MP said.
"This all is going to happen today."
Separately, the deputy speaker of parliament, Andriy Parubiy, told Reuters that four independent MPs had joined Mr Poroshenko`s faction, enough to form a majority.
Reports had emerged late on Monday that Mr Groysman would not take up the post amid disagreements over the new cabinet.
Negotiations are continuing ahead of the parliamentary vote and it is not clear yet how the disagreements have been resolved.
