Hello and welcome to our LIVE coverage from Serie A where Lazio welcome Cagliari to the Stadio Olimpico.

Sau, who has been sudued thus far, looks to get in behind the Biancoceleste back four but he had gone a fraction too soon.

Mauri is found in behind the visiting defence, he holds the ball up down near the six-yard box before playing the ball diagonally across the box to Lulic, who takes a touch before drawing a fine save from Agazzi. Good chance.

Conti is late on Hernanes now in the middle of midfield – Lazio free-kick but the referee needs to take action soon.

Rossettini is very, very late on Hernanes and the hosts have a free-kick down the Lazio right. It is swung over by Hernanes but a visiting head rises to clear.

Cagliari look more solid all of a sudden – they hold their two lines of four well before stealing the ball and breaking. Nainggolan dallies though and Lazio move forward.

Mauri is picking up little pockets of space and the Cagliari midfield needs to get closer to him. This time, they re-group well to force their hosts back to their back four.

Ibarbo, who has been bright, is fed the ball, he holds off a challenge before turning and lashing an effort high and wide.

Klose. What a predator. Mauri finds him inside the box, he holds off the challenge of Rossettini and manages to toe-poke an effort towards goal with Agazzi advancing. It is an instinctive effort and looks to have the beating of the keeper who manages to throw out a hand to save with the ball almost past him.

Omni-shambles at the back for the hosts. Nainggolan somehow contrives to miss – or at least allow Marchetti to save at his feet – following a galloping run from Ibarbo. What a chance. He was inside the six-yard box - and has to do better there.

Hernanes strikes the crossbar from the free-kick with Agazzi beaten. What a strike.

Klose's run is brought to a shuddering halt by a pretty robust challenge from Perico. Free-kick 30 yards out and to the left of goal as Hernanes looks at it.

Klose looks for Lulić in behind but the latter fails to read the former’s intentions and the through ball – which had perfect weight on it – ends up trickling out of play.

Conti fires the ball across the Lazio box but there is no one there to capitalise. The hosts break at pace but the move breaks down on the edge of the box. Lulić picks up the loose ball but elects to try to lob Agazzi but the ball sails over.

Bit scrappy out there at the moment as the teams exchange errant passes.

Ekdal intercepts a loose ball and leads a break from midfield but with Ibarbo in space down the right the returning midfielder picks the wrong pass and Lazio clear.

Agazzi has to be alert to come off his line and claim a Mauri cross from the left.

From our friends at Opta: Lazio and Cagliari haven’t shared the points over their last 11 Serie A meetings, with Lazio leading by seven wins to four.

Konko makes some decent ground down the right and wins a corner – bright start from the hosts.

We're underway - Lazio kick us off.

Great atmosphere in the Eternal City - we're moments from kick-off.
