The Aquile went into this weekend joint second with arch rivals Roma, but the Giallorossi’s 2-1 defeat to Inter last night means they can go three points clear.

However, a defeat and Juventus success in the Turin Derby would mathematically terminate the Scudetto race.

Chievo have an excellent record at the Olimpico and indeed have done better in this fixture than the hosts, winning four, drawing six and losing only twice.

Lazio need to rediscover their mojo after a run of eight consecutive Serie A victories was ended by last week’s 2-0 loss at Juventus.

Danilo Cataldi is suspended with Stefan de Vrij, Lucas Biglia, Marco Parolo, Filip Djordjevic and Abdoullay Konko injured.

Stefan Radu returns, while Miroslav Klose leads Felipe Anderson and Antonio Candreva, as Stefano Mauri isn’t even on the bench.

Chievo have four points from their last two games, breaking away from the relegation zone.

Riccardo Meggiorini and Valter Birsa sit out bans, with Federico Mattiello out for the rest of the season following an horrific leg break.

Veteran hitman Sergio Pellissier has found his form recently, partnering Alberto Paloschi in attack.
