Between injuries and suspensions, Marco Baroni will be without several key players. With Mario Gila serving a one-match ban and Patric suffering a knock, Alessio Romagnoli and Samuel Gigot are the mandatory choices at centre-back, while Manuel Lazzari and Luca Pellegrini could replace Adam Marusic and Nuno Tavares on the flanks.

In the middle of the park, Nicolo Rovella will link up with Matteo Guendouzi as usual, but Fisayo Dele-Bashiru is tipped to feature in an unusual role on the left wing, as Mattia Zaccagni is suspended, while Pedro and Tijjani Noslin are still working on regaining their best physical conditions.

Loum Tchaouna could also play in an unconventional role as an attacking midfielder, while Gustav Isaksen takes the right wing and Boulaye Dia fills in for Taty Castellanos who saw red in the Derby.

Lazio (4-2-3-1):  Provedel; Lazzari, Gigot, Romagnoli, Pellegrini; Guendouzi, Rovella; Isaksen, Tchaouna, Dele-Bashiru; Dia
