A top of the table clash in Serie A awaits on Monday evening as third-place Lazio host reigning champions Inter at the Sadio Olimpico, with both teams level on points approaching kick-off.
Marco Baroni will have to do without the suspended Taty Castellanos in attack, so Tijjani Noslin looks set to be given the nod up front instead.
There could also be space for 27-year-old Pedro in the attacking roles alongside Gustav Isaksen and Mattia Zaccagni.
Simone Inzaghi, meanwhile, could line up with what some consider his strongest possible XI. The Scudetto-winning midfield of Nicolo Barella, Hakan Calhanoglu and Henrikh Mkhitaryan look set to start together, behind an attacking partnership of Lautaro Martinez and Marcus Thuram.
