Minimal changes are expected from either coach when Sassuolo play host to Lazio in the last Serie A fixture on Saturday’s schedule. 

Sassuolo will look to get back to winning ways with a similar line-up to the one that ended up drawing 1-1 away to Lecce before the international break. 

Marcus Holmgren Pedersen is in line to start at centre-back at the expense of Gian Marco Ferrari, while Samu Castillejo is also expected to drop out of the line-up. The Spaniard could be replaced by an extra body in midfield in the form of Nedim Bajrami. 

Having picked up an important 3-2 win against Atalanta prior to the pause in domestic action, Maurizio Sarri is tipped to make just one switch to his starting line-up against the Neroverdi. 

Manuel Lazzarri is likely to start at full-back in place of Elseid Hysaj in what is otherwise an unchanged team. 

Kick off comes at 19.45 UK time on Saturday evening. 

Sassuolo (4-3-3): Consigli; Pedersen, Erlic, Tressoldi, Vina; Racic, Boloca, Bajrami; Berardi, Pinamonti, Laurienté.

Lazio (4-3-3): Provedel; Lazzari, Casale, Romagnoli, Marusic; Guendouzi, Rovella, Luis Alberto; Felipe Anderson, Castellanos, Zaccagni.
