Simone Inzaghi is poised to name his strongest possible **Inter XI** as they gear up to face Lazio at **San Siro** this coming Sunday evening. The stakes are high for both teams in the penultimate round of Serie A fixtures. **Inter Milan** currently sits one point behind league leaders **Napoli**, with just two matches remaining in the season. They must hope that **Antonio Conte’s Napoli** slips up in their final games if they are to win their 21st **Scudetto**.
On the other hand, Lazio’s aspirations are similar. They need **Juventus** to falter if they hope to secure the last remaining **Champions League** spot in the Serie A table. With **Lazio** and **Juventus** tied on points before this weekend’s matches, Juventus holds an advantage in the head-to-head tiebreaker, making every game crucial for Lazio.
Aside from **Lautaro Martinez**, who has been training separately, Inzaghi is expected to name his strongest possible **Inter XI**, anticipating only one change from the second leg of the **Champions League semi-final** against **Barcelona**. The expected replacement for Martinez in the attack is **Mehdi Taremi**.
Lazio, unfortunately, will be without both **Mattia Zaccagni** and **Luca Pellegrini** due to suspensions. Additionally, there are fitness concerns regarding **Nuno Tavares** and **Gustav Isaksen** leading up to kick-off.
According to **Sky Sport Italia**, **Pedro** and **Fisayo Dele-Bashiru** are anticipated to return to coach **Marco Baroni’s** starting XI for this crucial match.
Kick-off for this encounter, along with every other match that day, is scheduled for **19:45 BST**.
