Lazio have made an encouraging start since Gennaro Gattuso took charge, guiding the club to four victories and one draw from their opening five league matches.
That strong form has placed the Biancocelesti among the three teams sharing the top spot before this round.
They secured a 2-0 victory over Venezia before the break and continued their impressive run with a 2-0 win against Arezzo before drawing 2-2 with Juve Stabia in back-to-back friendlies.
Their recent home record has been decent, with only one defeat in their last eight Serie A matches at home, alongside four wins and three draws.
Monza, meanwhile, finally got their season moving in the right direction before the international break by beating Sassuolo 2-1.
The result ended a difficult opening stretch in which they had recorded one draw and three defeats before claiming their first league victory.
Despite securing their first win of the new league season, they failed to build on it, losing 3-2 to Cremonese and playing a 2-2 draw with Brest in back-to-back friendly games.
Also, improving their performances away from home remains a major priority. Monza have yet to win on the road this season, drawing once and losing twice.
Their defensive record is an even greater concern, with 12 goals conceded before this round, a figure surpassed only by Venezia's 13 in the division.
If Monza are to trouble an in-form Lazio side, they will need to show greater discipline at the back.
Lazio, on the other hand, have an opportunity to extend their remarkable start and strengthen their position among Serie A's early frontrunners.
