Empoli
- Injuries to Francesco Acerbi and Luiz Felipe will force Maurizio Sarri into a make-shift centre-back pairing here.

- Star man Ciro Immobile is fully fit and will start up front.
- Liam Henderson could start in an advanced role on Thursday, while Federico Di Francesco will replace Patrick Cutrone.
This is what a fixed match looks like.

1-2 final score
I wouldn't be surprised to see Lazio come out a bit slow from the break but I feel like Empoli had their big win already, and winning at Lazio isn't an easy task. The lack of depth in the back for Lazio makes me a bit nervous but they have been without Acerbi, Patric can fill in. One of my favorite plays this season has been Lazio to win 1st half and I think it will play out here.
