Inter Milan will look to maintain their lead at the top of Serie A when they face mid-table Lazio at the Stadio Olimpico on Sunday.
The Nerazzurri are favourites to win the Serie A title after their excellent start to the 2023/24 season. Juventus briefly occupied top spot after a victory over Napoli, but Simone Inzaghi's side regained the summit spot, with a comfortable 4-0 success over Udinese.
Lazio, meanwhile, will be looking to close the gap on the top following an unconvincing start to the new campaign. The visitors have won just one of their last five games in Serie A and even that was against a relegation-threatened Cagliari side who had been down to ten men after 27 minutes.
They also struggled to lay a glove in the Champions League on Wednesday night, losing 2-0 away to Atletico Madrid, meaning they too had to settle for second spot in Group E.

Team news & squads
Lazio team news
The Biancocelesti will be without the services of Danish forward Gustav Isaksen due to a thigh issue that will see him miss at least the December month games. Alessio Romagnoli (calf) could be back in contention after being involved in training on Thursday.
Juventus loanee Nicolo Rovella could return to midfield after serving a European ban, which should push Matias Vecino to the bench, but head coach Maurizio Sarri is expected to make few changes to the lineup that took to the field in Madrid.
Lazio possible XI: Provedel; Lazzari, Casale, Patric, Marusic; Guendouzi, Rovella, Alberto; Anderson, Immobile, Zaccagni
| Position | Players |
|---|---|
| Goalkeepers: | Provedel, Sepe, Mandas |
| Defenders: | Lazzari, Patric, Romagnoli, Hysaj, Gila, Marusic, Pellegrini, Kamenovic |
| Midfielders: | Guendouzi, Rovella, Alberto, Cataldi, Vecino, Basic, Lazzari, Kamada |
| Forwards: | Anderson, Immobile, Gonzalez, Fernandes, Pedro, Isaksen, Lombardi, Castellanos |
Inter team news
Inter boss Simone Inzaghi will almost certainly rotate his resources in defence, as Stefan de Vrij, Denzel Dumfries and Benjamin Pavard have all been struck down by injury of late, while a setback on an Achilles issue could rule out veteran wing-back Juan Cuadrado.
More positively for Inzaghi, first-choice defenders Alessandro Bastoni and Benjamin Pavard should be fit for selection.
Inter Milan possible XI: Sommer; Bisseck, Acerbi, Bastoni; Darmian, Barella, Calhanoglu, Mkhitaryan, Dimarco; Thuram, Martinez
| Position | Players |
|---|---|
| Goalkeepers: | Audero, Sommer, Di Gennaro |
| Defenders: | Bisseck, Acerbi, Dimarco, Darmian, Dumfries |
| Midfielders: | Calhanoglu, Mkhitaryan, Asllani, Agoume, Barella, Fratessi, Klassen, Augusto |
| Forwards: | Martinez, Thuram, Sanchez |
