Lazio have been forced to travel to Sampdoria this afternoon without star striker Miroslav Klose, meaning that Sergio Floccari gets a rare Serie A start in attack.
Klose's omission through injury means that Aquile boss Vladimir Petkovic opts for Floccari alongside Keita and Antonio Candreva in a three-man strikeforce, but Senad Lulic does return after a spell on the sidelines.
Sampdoria's new coach Sinisa Mihajlovic has named an offensive lineup with Nicola Pozzi leading the line, supported by Manolo Gabbiadini, Nenad Kristic and Pedro Obiang.
Sampdoria: Da Costa, Palombo, Gastaldello, Costa, Mustafi, De Silvestri, Krstičić, Obiang, Wszołek, Pozzi, Gabbiadini
Lazio: F. Marchetti, Ciani, Konko, Radu, Cana, Ledesma, Candreva, Lulić, Onazi, Keita, Floccari
