Lazo president Claudio Lotito insists he and coach Maurizio Sarri have a good relationship.

Appointed in the summer, Sarri is already in new contract talks.

Lotito said: "I have a good rapport with Sarri, we communicate every day and want to continue this journey together.

“Whatever happens next will be an entirely natural progress, without concerns."

He added: “I want to see a Lazio side that is determined and combative. I hope the team can show all its strength and quality in this match."
