Five different matches involving 10 different teams take place across this Sunday afternoon in Serie A, including top-half clashes, mid-table mid-table battles and important games at the bottom of the table, too. 

Here are how the teams involved in this afternoon’s Serie A kick-offs will line up: 

Monza vs. Lazio 

Maurizio Sarri and his second-placed Lazio side will travel to the Stadio Brianteo to take on Monza who currently find themselves in 13th place in the league table. 

The hosts are expected to make two changes to their team that drew 1-1 with Cremonese before the international break, with Donati and Jose Machin coming in for Armando Izzo and Mario Pessina who both miss out through suspension. 

Lazio  will likely see the return of the talismanic Ciro Immobile, who has been out of action since before the Conference League clash against AZ Alkmaar at the start of March. 

Sarri confirmed that the 32-year-old might not yet be ready to play for a full 90 minutes, so it is likely that Pedro will be called upon at some stage during the game. 

Manuel Lazarri is likely to come in for the suspended Adam Marusic who was sent off in the aftermath of the fiery Derby della Capitale against Roma before the break. 

The game kicks off at 14.00 UK time. 

Monza (3-5-2): Di Gregorio; Marlon, Mari, Donati; Birindelli, Sensi, Ciurria, Machin, Carlos Augusto; Petagna, Capari. 

Lazio (4-3-3): Provedel; Lazzari, Casale, Romagnoli, Hysaj; Milinkovic-Savic, Cataldi, Luis Alberto; Felipe Anderson, Pedro, Zaccagni. 

Spezia vs. Salernitana

Spezia are expected to make two changes to the team that lost 1-0 to Sassuolo before the recent pause for international fixtures, with Daniele Verde likely to replace Daniel Maldini who misses out through fitness issues and Eldor Shomurodov in for the suspended M’Bala Nzola. 

The visitors are also expected to make two alterations to the team who most recently drew 2-2 with Bologna towards the end of March. 

Pasquale Mazzocchi has been sidelined through the injury he picked up in the last round of fixtures, with Junior Sambia likely to replace him. Giulio Maggiore comes in for Emil Bohinen. 

Kick off also comes at 14.00 UK time.

Spezia (4-3-3): Dragowski; Amian, Caldara, Ampadu, Nikolaou; Ekdal, Bourabia, Agudelo; Gyasi, Shomurodov, Verde. 


Salernitana: (3-4-2-1): Ochoa; Gyomber, Daniliuc, Pirola; Sambia, Coulibaly, Maggiore, Bradaric; Candreva, Kastanos; Dia.
