Felipe Anderson starts as a false 9 in Lazio‘s attack against AZ Alkmaar in the first leg of the Conference League Round of 16.
It kicks off at 17.45 GMT.
Ciro Immobile is injured so Maurizio Sarri looks to the former West Ham winger who completes a front-three with Pedro and Mattia Zaccagni.
The ex-Chelsea and Barcelona star isn’t fully fit due to a recent hand injury and is playing with a protective mask after a nose injury which he suffered two weeks ago.
A few rotations in defence where Ivan Provedel and Alessio Romagnoli start on the bench. Sergej Milinkovic-Savic gets the nod in the middle of the park with Danilo Cataldi and Luis Alberto.
