“We held Juventus to a draw in Turin and didn’t just sit back to defend, so we’ll have the same approach with Lazio,” said Coach Stellone.

“It’s about understanding the right moment to attack and the right moment to defend. Lazio have a lot of quality up front, especially with counter-attacking specialists, so we must get back quickly into shape when losing possession.

“Lazio are a very strong side and have resolved their early season problems. They particularly do well at home and are very attacking, but that also means they always leave some spaces at the back.

“Lucas Biglia is a great talent who dictates the tempo and at any moment can send players clear on goal. I don’t know if they’ll play with three in midfield, but we need to stay close to cut them off.

“We are coming off two positive results, so clearly our confidence is higher now than it was going into the Torino game.

“Would I settle for a draw? Last year I would’ve always said no, but this is Serie A and we have to be a little more objective. I would, but it depends on how the game develops.

“This is the first derby in history against Lazio, so we have even more motivation to get as many points as possible.”

Modibo Diakite will not face his former club, as he picked up a calf problem in training, while Samuele Longo is also unavailable.

Frosinone squad for Lazio: Gomis, Leali, Zappino; Bertoncini, Blanchard, M Ciofani, Crivello, Pavlovic, Rosi, Russo; Chibsah, Frara, Gori, Gucher, Sammarco; Carlini, Castillo, D Ciofani, Dionisi, Paganini, Soddimo, Tonev, Verde
