We're underway at the San Siro.
The team news has been announced and we'll start with the home side.
Lazio booked their place in the Coppa Italia semi-finals during the week, narrowly defeating Fiorentina thanks to Senad Lulic's early strike. I Biancocelesti have been inconsistent of late in Serie A, but did defeat Crotone 4-0 in their last league outing. Simone Inzaghi's men are in the battle for the top four, but need to find their best form to ensure they remain in contention.
This contest is vital for Luciano Spalletti's men to get back to form, having lost their last three matches on the bounce. Inter have suffered back-to-back defeats in Serie A at the hands of Udinese and Sassuolo, while Patrick Cutrone's strike dumped them out of the Coppa Italia as their bitter rivals Milan advanced during the week. The Nerazzurri desperately need the win to keep pace in the title race.
Good afternoon and welcome to the live commentary of the Serie A clash between Inter and Lazio at the San Siro.
Inter have made two changes from their defeat to Milan during the week. Davide Santon comes into the side at left-back to replace Yuto Nagatomo, while Borja Valero ousts Joao Mario from one of the three supporting roles behind spearhead Mauro Icardi.
Lazio have made three changes from their win over Fiorentina during the week. Ciro Immobile, Luis Alberto and Adam Marusic come into the fold this afternoon for Inzaghi's men.
STAT ATTACK! The Biancocelesti have scored 43 goals so far - their all-time record in the opening 17 matches of a single Serie A campaign.
STAT ATTACK! Inter have won four of their last seven Serie A matches against Lazio, losing just one of the contests.
The players are out on the pitch, so we should be underway shortly.
HALF-TIME: INTER 0-0 LAZIO
It's all square at the break between Inter and Lazio at the San Siro. The visitors could have taken the lead just before the break when Borja Valero guided a header from Luis Alberto's cross towards his own goal, only to be saved by the bar. Inter have had their moments in the final third, but Ivan Perisic saw his strike well saved by Thomas Strakosha. Both teams need to display a stronger clinical edge in the second period.
FULL-TIME: INTER 0-0 LAZIO
Thanks for joining our commentary this evening. Until next time, goodbye.
Inter end a run of three-straight defeats by claiming a point against Lazio. The visitors will feel that they should have come away with all three points. Felipe Anderson missed a glorious chance late in the second half when he fired wide of the post from close range, while Simone Inzaghi's men also saw penalty decision overturned on review. Inter lost their way in the second period and will be grateful to earn a share of the spoils from the clash.
