Simone Inzaghi’s side have been unlucky so far this term, fumbling a lead to lose with Napoli and then falling at the Juventus Stadium.

The failure to hang on to a Champions League spot in the final showdown with Inter last season has left what Inzaghi called “baggage” on the team and they are struggling to shake off that disappointment.

Luiz Felipe and Valon Berisha are out injured, so Wallace again takes over in defence, while Luis Alberto and Milinkovic-Savic provide service for last year’s Capocannoniere Immobile.

Frosinone are back in Serie A after a controversial promotion play-off victory over Palermo, because of which they have their first two home games played behind closed doors and on neutral turf.

The Canarini were torn apart 4-0 by Atalanta in the opening fixture, but held out for a goalless draw with Bologna, meaning they have more points under their belts than local rivals Lazio.

The absentee list includes Joel Campbell – who sprained his ankle in training – Emil Hallfredsson, Federico Dionisi and Daniel Ciofani.

Former Chelsea and Udinese forward Stipe Perica leads the attack with Camillo Ciano.

Coach Inzaghi faced Coach Moreno Longo three times in his Lazio Primavera youth team career and lost all three, although two were in extra time and another on penalties.

Lazio: Strakosha; Wallace, Acerbi, Radu; Marusic, Parolo, Leiva, Milinkovic-Savic, Lulic; Luis Alberto; Immobile

Frosinone: Sportiello; Brighenti, Salamon, Capuano; Zampano, Chibsah, Maiello, Cassata, Molinaro; Ciano, Perica
