Tonights game for Lazio v AC Milan represents the pefect platform for Dellio Rossi to take his wounded troops to battle against the mighty Milan. However, it also represents potentially his last chance to lead the charge from the Lazio bench. The Lazio fans are frankly sick of the inconsistency that this season has brought. Superb performances against Fiorentina in the league and Milan in the cup have rightly not been enough for the fans, and recent defencive disasters againt Cagliari and Sampdoria have had tensions running high in the capital for Rome's first club. The sight of Roma overtaking Lazio in the standings has also added insult to injury, so tonights game represents a make or break chance for Rossi and a heavy defeat will surley make his position very difficult. Milan however will be in no mood to mess around. With Juve slipping up tonight Milan must win to make next weeks Milan derby a title showdown. If they achieve both of these results they will be only 5 points off the sumit, and the thought of this will only make Lazios job more difficult.

Lazio's Keys to the game

It is all up to the defence. With nine goals concede in three games, a shake up is needed. If this form continues, expect the game to be over by half time with Milan comfortably in the lead. If not, then we have a chance to make an upset, and set the season right on track again. Forza Lazio
