Afternoon all. Lazio can take advantage of Milan's draw on Saturday and move to within a point of top spot with a victory against Catania.

Zarate's corner to the far post is headed out for another set-piece. Cleared.

Ledesma crosses into the box. Hernanes tries to play in Floccari and it goes out for a corner.

Lichtsteiner tackles Izco on the right and Catania have a throw.

Catania force a corner on the left but it beats everyone and goes out for a goal-kick.

Radu comes out of defence. His ball to Floccari goes out.

CAUTION: Hernanes of Lazio for a foul on Llama

Hernanes shoots from almost 40 yards and Andujar is right behind it.

CAUTION: Morimoto of Catania for a foul on Ledesma

Alvarez finds Llama in midfield and Catania are happy to go backwards. But Hernanes steps in. Into Floccari who is fouled by Terlizzi.

Lazio have identified Morimoto as Catania's danger man and have Biava man-marking him.

Brocchi wide to Radu. His cross is poor and Silvestre hacks clear.

The tempo of the game will change hugely should either side score.

Mascara comes left again and sweeps out to Gomez on the right. Morimoto takes over but loses it as Ledesma takes over but his ball to Hernanes gets caught under his feet.

Macara wide to Llama, who crosses, but Muslera claims with ease.

Zarate flashes the free-kick wide which got a slight deflection. The corner is cleared.

CAUTION: Silvestre of Catania for a foul on Hernanes

Hernanes breaks and threatens to take on the entire Catania back line until Silvestre stops him on the egde of the box.

Again Catania are happy to slow the tempo down. The crowd don't like it and the whistles tell you how much.

Hernanes shoots from the free-kick. It's deflected behind off the wall for a corner. Cleared.

Silvestre fouls Zarate 25 yards out. As central as you can get...

Lazio are beginning to get on top in midfield but Zarate and Floccari need to show a bit more guile to get past Silvestre and Terlizzi
