This Week 12 fixture was originally rained off at the Stadio Olimpico on November 5.
At the time, Udinese were in crisis under Coach Gigi Del Neri, but the situation has been turned on its head since former Lazio full-back Massimo Oddo took charge.
The Friulani are now unbeaten in seven Serie A games, including five consecutive victories.
Valon Behrami, Ali Adnan, Silvan Widmer and their top scorer Kevin Lasagna are on the treatment table, so Maxi Lopez and Stipe Perica lead the way with support from sought-after creative midfielder Antonin Barak.
Lazio lost Capocannoniere Ciro Immobile to a thigh injury at the weekend in their 5-1 victory over Chievo, but still leapfrogged Inter into third place with a game in hand.
Felipe Caicedo is only fit for the bench, so Coach Simone Inzaghi launches an all-new front pairing of Nani and Felipe Anderson.
Sergej Milinkovic-Savic bagged a brace on Sunday and is on extraordinary form.
Udinese haven’t beaten Lazio since a 1-0 result here in September 2014, followed by one point from the next six meetings, home and away.
In that time, they’ve scored only once and conceded nine goals.
