As we build up to the game at the Stadio Olimpico, let's look at a dozen facts and figures...
1 out of 19
Roma have only failed to score once in their last 19 league derbies, a goalless stalemate in February 2014.
4
The Giallorossi have won the sides' last four meetings in Serie A, scoring at least two goals per game and conceding just two in total. Aside from that, Lazio haven't won the derby in the top flight since 11 November 2012 (D3, L5).
4 out of 10
Radja Nainggolan has reached double figures in terms of goals scored for the first time in Serie A. Four of his strikes have come from outside the box - a league high.
7
Roma have won all seven of their Serie A lunchtime kick-offs. The Giallorossi have kept five clean sheets and average 2.3 goals-per-game in fixtures with a 12:30 start time.
10
The Biancocelesti have ended the two most recent league derbies down to 10 men.
16 out of 18
Luciano Spalletti's team have taken 16 points from a possible 18 in their last six matches. Only Juventus can match that run.
17
Mohamed Salah is already enjoying his best ever season in front of goal (17 scored). The Egyptian is Roma's only player in double figures both in terms of goals and assists (all competitions).
18
Roma have lost just one of their last 18 league derbies as the home team (W10, D7), with the reverse coming in March 2012. They have alternated between a draw and a win in their last four as the away side meantime.
19
Nainggolan's effort off the woodwork at Pescara was the 19th time Spalletti's side have struck the frame of the goal - a league high.
23 v 5
The Biancocelesti have scored 23 goals from set-pieces (including penalties). The Giallorossi have conceded just five times from dead-ball situations. Both are league highs.
28
The Giallorossi have found the net in each of their last 28 top-flight home games, scoring a total of 70 goals at an average of 2.5 per game. Their only loss in that time came against Napoli (W22, D5).
74+582
Roma have the league's second best attack in terms of goals scored (74) and have had more shots than anyone else (582).
