Lazio went from Scudetto candidates to sitting just two points ahead of third-placed Atalanta, as injuries and the compressed calendar showed up the lack of strength in depth.

After back-to-back defeats against Milan and Lecce, Simone Inzaghi is without Joaquin Correa, Adam Marusic, Senad Lulic and suspended Patric, who received a four-match ban for biting an opponent’s arm.

Sergej Milinkovic-Savic was in doubt, but he is passed fit to start, with Lucas Leiva on the bench.

Bastos steps into the back three, with Jordan Lukaku taking over from Jony.

Even Capocannoniere Ciro Immobile’s goals have dried up and he starts alongside Felipe Caicedo.

Sassuolo, on the other hand, are on sparkling form with three consecutive victories and they’ve scored more than any other team since the restart, even if that did include a pair of 3-3 draws.

Gregoire Defrel is out injured along with Pedro Obiang and Filippo Romagna, but Jeremie Boga returns to the starting XI after he was rested midweek against Bologna.

Filip Djuricic is also back in business after suspension, but the rest is a total transformation, with 20-year-old Giacomo Raspadori given his first ever Serie A start after four substitute appearances, resting Francesco Caputo.

Domenico Berardi is also benched in favour of Hamed Junior Traore.

Lazio: Strakosha; Bastos, Acerbi, Radu; Lazzari, Milinkovic-Savic, Parolo, Luis Alberto, J Lukaku; Immobile, Caicedo

Sassuolo: Consigli; Toljan, Marlon, Ferrari, Kyriakopoulos; Bourabia, Djuricic, Locatelli; Traore, Raspadori, Boga
