The derby is approaching for Roma, who dream of a victory to prove they mean business this season. After the 2-0 loss to Bologna, they bounced back midweek to thump Frosinone by a score of 4-0. However, Eusebio Di Francesco does not find this to be enough: he wants to continue this success against Lazio.
The formation should be the same as the one used midweek on Wednesday, a 4-2-3-1, where Dzeko will take back the central striking role and Manolas supporting Fazio in the middle of the back line. Florenzi (who is still favoured over Santon) will start, while Nzonzi and De Rossi are practically certain of a starting jersey in the middle of midfield.
Here is the probable Giallorossi lineup:
(4-2-3-1): Olsen; Florenzi, Manolas, Fazio, Kolarov; De Rossi, Nzonzi, Under, Pastor, El Shaarawy, Dzeko.
