Roma midfielder Kevin Strootman is excited ahead of the derby against Lazio.

The first Derby della Capitale takes place on Saturday night.

“The derby is a special game," Strootman told Premium Sport.

“This year both Lazio and Roma are doing well, it'll be a top challenge. There are no favourites, we'll see who is better on Saturday evening and who takes the three points."

Both Roma and Lazio go into the game as genuine title contenders.
