Scaloni, Floccari, Cana, Ciani, Diakité, Carrizo, Candreva, Kozák, Bizzarri, Brocchi, Cavanda, Rozzi. /// Cagliari: Agazzi, Perico, Rossettini, Danilo Avelar, Del Fabro, Conti, Dessena, Nainggolan, Ekdal, Ibarbo, Sau.

The Sardinians, just a point off the bottom three, made the trip onto the mainland without the injured duo Mauricio Pinilla and Lorenzo Ariaudo, or Davide Astori and Francesco Pisano, who are serving suspensions.

Lazio are still without Mauro Zarate following his refusal to sit on the bench last month in a Europa League game, but the only injury concern for the Biancocelesti is Brazilian Ederson as they look to continue their pre winter break form.

A win for second-placed Lazio would move them four points clear of Fiorentina and Inter, and cut Juventus’ advantage at the top of Serie A to five points with the other main protagonists of the 2012-13 Scudetto race playing on Sunday.
