This is a strange sort of derby, because until the final hours of December 31, both clubs were still owned by Claudio Lotito.

It was against the rules to have two clubs owned by one man in the same division, so Salernitana were on the verge of being excluded from Serie A until a sale was finally resolved.

The home fans have no love for Lotito or their former sister club, so the atmosphere could be tense.

Norbert Gyomber is suspended, with another three players testing positive for COVID-19 today, taking the total to six.

Among the absentees are Nwankwo Simy, Franck Ribery, Mamadou Coulibaly and Riccardo Gagliolo.

Lazio miss Francesco Acerbi, while Stefan Radu and Toma Basic, plus Jean-Daniel Akpa-Akpro at the Africa Cup of Nations.

Immobile leads the attack with support from Mattia Zaccagni, Pedro and Milinkovic-Savic.

Salernitana: Belec; Motoc, Delli Carri, Veseli; Ranieri, Kechrida, Di Tacchio, Schiavone, Obi; Bonazzoli, Gondo

Lazio: Strakosha; Hysaj, Luiz Felipe, Patric, Marusic; Milinkovic-Savic, Cataldi, Luis Alberto; Pedro, Immobile, Zaccagni
