Lazio v AC Milan preview: All to play for in Coppa Italia semi-final second-leg tie
Wednesday 28 February 2018 19:29, UK
It is all to play for as Lazio and AC Milan face each other in their Coppa Italia semi-final second-leg tie live on Sky Sports.
The first leg at the San Siro ended in a 0-0 draw, so a spot in the final - where the winner will play either Juventus or Atalanta - is firmly in the balance.
Both sides are in a good form, too. Gennaro Gattuso's Milan have won their last five games in all competitions including sealing a spot in the last 16 of the Europa League after beating Ludogorets and will face Arsenal next Thursday.
They also beat Roma 2-0 in Serie A this weekend, and Gattuso is hoping the victory can help his side to the Coppa Italia final.
"The last win helps us to feel confident but we have several tough matches ahead of us. We must recover our energy and think about our upcoming games," he told Milan TV.

"We have to show we are ready for the big matches as we have been doing during the last months....What we've done is important but is in the past. Now we have to look forward."
However, Andrea Conti will be missing for Wednesday's visitors, although he is nearing a return from injury.
Lazio have joined their Serie A counterparts in the last 16 after seeing off Steaua Bucharest, and have been victorious in their last three games in all competitions.
Adam Marusic is set to play a part at the Stadio Olimpico as he is suspended for the next two Serie A matches after elbowing an opponent in the weekend's league win against Sassuolo.
Martin Caceres, Bruno Jordao and Pedro Neto are all injured and will not feature.
