Lazio need to end their run of three straight defeats, but the squad is increasingly thin as they travel to face Rodrigo De Paul’s relegation-threatened Udinese.
It kicks off at 20.45 UK time (19.45 GMT).
Simone Inzaghi’s men have lurched from Scudetto contenders to third place, behind Inter on goal difference, as they have an identical head-to-head record.
They have lost three on the bounce and the squad is increasingly thin, missing Senad Lulic, Adam Marusic, Joaquin Correa and suspended Patric.
Ciro Immobile and Felipe Caicedo are again the front two, with support from Luis Alberto and Sergej Milinkovic-Savic.
Luiz Felipe makes his comeback from the start after an injury.
Udinese are still not entirely safe from the drop zone, as they were beaten 3-1 at home by Sampdoria at the weekend.
Rolando Mandragora is out for the rest of the season with a devastating knee injury, but Stefano Okaka and Ken Sema act as support for hitman Kevin Lasagna.
Mato Jajalo was at risk to feature, but he’s in the starting XI.
Udinese: Musso; Becao, De Maio, Nuytinck; Stryger-Larsen, Fofana, Jajalo, De Paul, Sema; Okaka, Lasagna
Lazio: Strakosha; Luiz Felipe, Acerbi, Radu; Lazzari, Milinkovic-Savic, Parolo, Luis Alberto, Jony; Caicedo, Immobile
