English summary: Derby secrets. Salah key for Spalletti in attack. Nainggolan king, Emerson ready to return, Alisson back in net. In news about Goats, De Vrij is critical, Marchetti is out (their GK won all of his Primavera matches vs Roma), eyes on the pressing of the front three Keita-Immobile-Felipe Anderson.

Mercato Roma, Gomez: "A gennaio vicino ai giallorossi, ma non ero convinto di partire" (LaRoma24.it)

English summary: The lowering of the barriers (to around 3’6”, complete removal to come in April if all goes well) doesn’t seem to be enough. Lazio have only sold 15,200 tickets and Roma 8,000 for tomorrow’s match, around the same numbers as the Serie A Derby back in December. Shame.
Cup Finals? Screw em!
