The Coppa Italia returns to the fold with another edition of the Derby della Capitale this week as Lazio lock horns with Jose Mourinho's AS Roma side in a crucial encounter at the Stadio Olimpico on Wednesday.

Lazio are currently in seventh place in the Serie A standings and have not been at their best so far this season. The home side edged Udinese to a 2-1 victory last week and will look to achieve a similar result in this fixture.
AS Roma, on the other hand, are in eighth place in the league table at the moment and have flattered to deceive this season. The Giallorossi were held to a 1-1 draw by Atalanta in their previous game and will need to take it up a notch this week.
