The Aquile had a tough start to the campaign, losing two on the trot, but have since found their form with four straight wins between Serie A and the Europa League.
However, Simone Inzaghi is also motivated to rest some of his stars ahead of this weekend’s Derby della Capitale showdown with Roma.
Ciro Immobile, Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, Lucas Leiva, Adam Marusic and Martin Caceres are all rested, with Stefan Radu unavailable due to injury anyway.
It’s a complete transformation with Joaquin Correa and Felipe Caicedo in attack, Luis Alberto in a deeper role with Patric out wide.
Udinese are still experimenting under new Coach Julio Velazquez to find the right formation and tactical system, but earned an impressive 2-0 success away to Chievo at the weekend.
Rodrigo De Paul scored one and set up the other for Kevin Lasagna, so they complete the attack with Venezuela international Darwin Machis.
Andrija Balic, Emmanuel Badu and Svante Ingelsson are unavailable.
Lazio are unbeaten against the Friulani since a 1-0 Olimpico result in September 2014, picking up eight wins and one draw. Their last defeat in Udine was 1-0 back in April 2013, followed by four wins and a stalemate.
Udinese: Scuffet; Stryger-Larsen, Nuytinck, Troost-Ekong, Samir; Machis, Fofana, Mandragora, Barak; De Paul, Lasagna
Lazio: Strakosha; Luiz Felipe, Acerbi, Wallace; Patric, Parolo, Badelj, Luis Alberto, Lulic; Correa; Caicedo
