Valon Berisha and Luiz Felipe are out injured, but Adam Marusic has shaken off a knock to start after international duty.
It’s the usual group for Simone Inzaghi, with Lucas Leiva and Sergej Milinkovic-Savic supporting Luis Alberto and Ciro Immobile.
Empoli have a full-back shortage, as Luca Antonelli and Manuel Pasqual are unavailable, so centre-back Frederic Veseli has to adapt on the left.

Lazio: Strakosha, Wallace, Acerbi, Radu, Marusic, Parolo, Leiva, Milinkovic-Savic, Lulic, Luis Alberto, Immobile
