Lazio team news

The most notable piece of selection news for Lazio is the return of Simone Inzaghi. Their popular manager has been away from the action after contracting coronavirus, but he will be back on the sidelines against Milan.

Meanwhile, Gonzalo Escalante remains out, as does defender Luiz Felipe. Ciro Immobile and Luis Alberto both picked up knocks during the Napoli humiliation and could be in contention.

With his side conceding eight in their last two games, Inzaghi will likely be tempted to rejig his back three, especially with Milan possessing so much attacking talent.

Milan team news

Zlatan Ibrahimovic might have signed a new contract recently, but he won't be involved on Monday night due to injury.

Elsewhere, Theo Hernandez and Ismael Bennacer will face late fitness tests. Other than that, manager Stefano Pioli has no further concerns.

Predicted Lazio vs Milan lineups

Lazio: Reina; Patric, Acerbi, Radu; Marusic, Milinkovic-Savic, Lucas, Pereira, Fares; Correa, Caicedo.

Milan: Donnarumma; Calabria, Kjaer, Tomori, Hernandez; Saelemaekers, Kessie, Meite, Calhanoglu; Rebic, Leao.

Prediction

Lazio are in dire need of a win to keep their slim hopes of a top four finish alive. Meanwhile, Milan's Champions League spot is anything but secure, making three points vital for them as well.

Neither manager will be happy with us for predicting a draw in this one. On paper the two teams are just too close to call.

However, do not let the prospect of a tie put you off tuning in. Just like when the pair met back in December, we are expecting goals - particularly as Lazio have conceded so many in recent times.

Prediction: Lazio 2-2 Milan
