What They're Saying

Felipe Anderson's agent, Franco Zavaglia (via Football Italia): "In my opinion, Felipe Anderson is still only at 70 percent of his potential. He's still not shown his true value. Wait a while, then you'll see the actual value of the player."

AS Roma defender Davide Astori (via Fox Sports): "Now, the fun begins because we have closed the gap on the top of the table. Every point now becomes important, not decisive, but really something to think about. On Sunday, we have the first opportunity to go above Juventus. We have the ability to be a great team. We need results such as the ones which could occur on Sunday to boost our confidence."

Tactical Preview

Player to Watch: Astori's confidence is boosted with every performance in Serie A. In nine league appearances, the 28-year-old is averaging 7.2 clearances and 3.4 interceptions.

AS Roma's Projected Lineup (4-3-3): Sanctis; Holebas, Manolas, Astori, Maicon; Pjanic, Rossi, Nainggolan; Florenzi, Totti, Iturbe

Lazio's Projected Lineup (4-3-3): Marchetti; Radu, Cana, Vrij, Basta; Mauri, Biglia, Parolo; Candreva, Djordjevic, Anderson
