It kicks off at 12:30 CET (11:30 BST) at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome.
The Giallorossi must cope without Paulo Dybala, Leon Bailey, and Wesley. The latter didn’t train with the rest of the team over the last few days due to a stomach virus. Mario Hermoso is available, but is expected to start on the bench because of a minor muscle issue.
Zeki Celik is expected to join Gianluca Mancini and Evan Ndicka in central defence, while attacking midfielders Matias Soulé and Stephan El Shaarawy will provide support to Ferguson.
On the other hand, Lazio coach Maurizio Sarri has a few doubts in midfield, as reported by Sky Sport Italia and other media.
Reda Belahyane is the favourite over Fisayo Dele-Bashiru, while Nicolò Rovella is not fully fit, so Danilo Cataldi should start as a deep-lying playmaker.
Likewise, Matteo Cancellieri is likely to start over Pedro, while Castellanos is fit and is expected to lead the Biancocelesti’s attack.
Samuel Gigot, Patric, Manuel Lazzari and Matias Vecino are unavailable for Lazio.
