Good evening everyone and welcome to LIVE updates from the action in Serie A, where the weekend begins with a potentially mouthwatering tie between Lazio and Internazionale.

Great move between Hernanes and Zarate and it almost ends with the Argentine striker clear on goal - agonisingly beyond his outstretched leg.

Natalino puts in a great challenge to stop Zarate as he scythes his way down the left.

He will... and it should provide the equaliser! The shot is full of power, though straight at Muslera. He can only parry it though, and Pandev should do better with the rebound. Definite chance for the visitors.

Sneijder stopped in his tracks and Inter have a free kick 35 yards out. Surely he won't try a shot?

Inter did of course come back from behind in their last Serie A game - at home to Parma, to win 5-2. But Lazio away is a tougher proposition.

Pandev holds up the ball well and is frustrated that no team-mates offer him a run or an option. He wins a throw nevertheless.

Cambiasso caught on the ball in the centre circle, and Inter have more defensive work to do.

Impressive play from Lazio, and Inter surely have no chocie but to open up a little now they're behind.

BIAVA SCORES! LAZIO LEAD! And they deserve it - a good cross this time which Hernanes gets a good header to - Cambiasso prevents it crossing the line once - but not a second time - Biava gets the final touch!

Another underwhelming delivery - high and hopeful, and Inter clear. But Zarate gets the ball again on the left, leaves Biabiany for dead and wins another corner.

Zarate linking up with down the left with Mauri, and he wins Lazio their third corner of the game.

Pandev picks up a foul on halfway. Benitez has plenty of instructions for his men from the sidelines.

Inter clear the danger, but just as they threaten to break it falls apart, and Lucio commits another cynical foul. It's been an evening of those so far.

A poor ball from Hernanes which Pandev, helping out at the back, gets a header to. But when the ball comes back Castellazzi punches poorly to give away a throw close to the corner flag.

Lazio coming into the game, and Muntari picks up a booking for a nasty late challenge on Hernanes - good chance for the hosts from the set piece on the right.

MAURI SO CLOSE! What a chance! A good ball and Floccari's header forces a sharp save from Castellazzi in the Inter goal - but it falls to Mauri at point-blank range. Terrific interception from Zanetti to deny him!

Confident passing from Lazio to work the ball left despite pressure from their opponents.

Lazio defending calmly as Inter look for a way through - Zanetti sidefoots to Sneijder from 30 yards out, and he smashes a shot well over the bar in frusttration.

The ball mired in the midfield - Sneijder has yet to do a great deal for the visitors, and he could be a key man tonight.

MUNTARI HALF-CHANCE! It's a good move from Biabiany down the right - the cross is just beyond Pandev but Muntari gets a header to the ball and wins a corner.

Pandev, playing as a lone striker tonight, picks up a free kick as he attempts to hold off Biava just inside the Lazio half.
