This derby is notorious for being one of Italy's fiercest rivalries and, over the years, has seen some of Serie A's most memorable and dramatic moments. 

The 2025 version sees Roma, looking to bounce back from their surprise defeat to Torino last week and record a first win at Lazio since 2016. It will be a first taste of Derby Day for Gian Piero Gasperini following his appointment in Rome over the summer. 

Lazio, who failed to beat their rivals last season, also come into the clash off the back of a shock defeat after they were beaten by Sassuolo. Maurizio Sarri knows all about what's at stake in this one and is the kind of game the veteran boss revels in. 

But who will have city bragging rights, come Sunday afternoon?
