Serie A leaders Inter Milan have made an excellent start to the season, but coach Simone Inzaghi may have to do without three of his key defenders on Sunday when they visit a Lazio side still searching for form.
Inter will be without their right-sided wing back Denzel Dumfries with Benjamin Pavard and Stefan de Vrij also likely to be absent through injury.
The trio have been instrumental as Inter made a fine start to the campaign, conceding only seven goals in their opening 15 games.
Maurizio Sarri's Lazio will hope to close the gap in pursuit of a top-six spot, having suffered a poor start to the season. Lazio have 21 points and are in 10th place, trailing Inter by 17 points.The title race is shaping up to be a two-way battle between Inter and second-placed Juventus, who trail the leaders by two points.
