Udinese host Lazio on Sunday, looking for their first Serie A win of 2014.

The Bianconeri have lost their first two league games of the calendar year, and fell to a 3-0 defeat against Sampdoria on Monday evening.

Despite their league troubles, they have found success in the Coppa Italia, making it through to the quarter-finals courtesy of a 1-0 win over Inter Milan.

They currently sit 15th in the table, and are just four points above the relegation zone.

Lazio manager Edoardo Reja has overseen a change in fortunes for the club since the turn of the year, guiding them to two wins in his first three games in charge.

They returned from the winter break to record a 1-0 win over Inter Milan and advanced to the last eight of the Coppa Italia in midweek, with a 2-1 win over Parma.

Allan Marques Loureiro and Gabriel Silva are suspended for Udinese, after both were sent off in their defeat to Sampdoria. Cristian Ledesma and Stefano Mauri are both suspended for Lazio, while Lorik Cana, Stefan Radu and Diego Novaretti are all out injured.
