INTER TEAM ANALYSIS
Simone Inzaghi, meanwhile, stays loyal to his trusty 3-5-2. Samir Handanovic has a back three of Alessandro Bastoni, Stefan de Vrij and Milan Skriniar to protect him, with Denzel Dumfries and Federico Dimarco at wing-back. In the engine room, Marcelo Brozovic is the single pivot, with the more advanced eights Roberto Gagliardini and Nicolo Barella given freer roles to affect the game between the lines and suffocate the home side out of possession. Lautaro Martinez joins up once more with Romelu Lukaku, who has one goal in his first two games back in the Italian top flight.

LAZIO TEAM ANALYSIS
Let's analyse Maurizio Sarri's selection, shall we? The former Chelsea manager plumps for his typical 4-3-3 shape, with Ivan Provedel between the sticks, shielded by Patric and Alessio Romagnoli in the centre of defence, and they are flanked by Manuel Lazzari and Adam Marusic in the full-back berths. Danilo Cataldi plays that Jorginho-esque deep-lying playmaker role, with talismanic box-to-box midfielder Sergej MIlinkovic-Savic to his right. Matias Vecino completes the midfield trio, lining up against his former employers. Ciro Immobile leads the line, with Felipe Anderson and Mattia Zaccagni either side of the prolific Italian.
