This fixture will be played in an empty stadium, as Dnipro are penalised for the behaviour of their fans in last term’s semi-final against Napoli.

Lazio were meant to be in the Champions League, but were beaten 3-1 on aggregate by Bayer Leverkusen and bumped down to the Europa League instead.

That proved a heavy blow and performances have suffered ever since, but they got back on track at the weekend with a 2-0 victory over Udinese, sealed by Alessandro Matri.

Federico Marchetti is picked to help him regain form after a month out with cracked ribs, while Abdoulay Konko also returns from a long injury lay-off.

Ricardo Kishna and Felipe Anderson bring youth and pace to the front line, as Miroslav Klose, Filip Djordjevic, Lucas Biglia and Stefan de Vrij are all injured.

Mauricio also sits out a ban in defence, so Wesley Hoedt and Santiago Gentiletti form a new central partnership.

Dnipro are without Roman Zozulya and Roman Bezus, but can count on captain Ruslan Rotan and impressive striker Yevhen Seleznyov.

Dnipro: Boyko; Fedetskiy, Douglas, Papa Gueye, Leo Matos; Fedorchuk, Edmar; Anderson Pico, Rotan, Matheus; Seleznyov

Dnipro bench: Shelikhov, Cheberyachko, Tomecak, Luchkevych, Danilo, Ruiz, Bruno Gama

Lazio: Marchetti; Konko, Hoedt, Gentiletti, Radu; Onazi, Parolo; Felipe Anderson, Milinkovic-Savic, Kishna; Matri

Lazio bench: Berisha, Basta, Cataldi, Lulic, Candreva, Mauri, Keita
