Team News: Lazio make five changes

Lazio coach Vladimir Petkovic has been forced to shuffle his pack ahead of this afternoon's clash with Chievo, making five changes to his starting lineup.

A combination of injury and suspension has ruled out key midfield duo Lucas Biglia and Hernanes, with Cristian Ledesma and Ederson brought in as replacements alongside the returning Ogenyi Onazi.

Stefan Radu and Diego Novaretti drop to the bench after a 4-1 defeat to Juventus before the international break, with Abdoulay Konko and Giuseppe Biava drafted in to shore things up.

Antonio Candreva will move out wide in a change of formation for the Aquile, with Ederson playing just off Miroslav Klose.

Chievo have named two strikers in a positive starting lineup for today's Serie A trip to the Stadio Olimpico, with Cyril Thereau partnering Alberto Paloschi in attack.

Lazio: Marchetti, Konko, Biava, Cana, Cavanda, Candreva, Onazi, Ledesma, Lulic, Ederson, Klose

Chievo: Puggioni, Sardo, Papp, Cesar, Dramé Sestu, Radovanovic, L Rigoni, Hetemaj, Thereau, Paloschi
