Fans will be treated to a mouthwatering encounter on Monday night as Serie A giants AC Milan travel to Lazio, hoping to get their season back on track.
Both sides are coming off devastating losses as Milan lost 2-1 at home to Sassuolo, whereas Lazio suffered a humiliating 5-2 thrashing by Napoli.
The results left Lazio in sixth place on the log with 58 points, whilst Milan are in third place with 66 points as both teams to secure a place in European football next season.
The Rossoneri could become the first team to win 14 of their first 16 games on the road in a single Serie A season on Monday.
The reverse fixture, played at San Siro back in December, saw AC Milan eke out a narrow 3-2 win over Lazio courtesy an injury-time winner by Theo Hernandez.

Simone Inzaghi does not have many pressing injury concerns hampering his preparations ahead of the visit of AC Milan.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic is also the only absent player from the Milan first team ahead of the clash.
Surprisingly, Mario Mandzukic could be set to lead the line for AC Milan against Lazio, with Rafael Leao moving out to the left flank.
The rapid Ante Rebic could be deployed on the right wing, with Hakan Calhanoglu a certainty in the no. 10 role.
