Lazio and Roma make Serie A history as unbeaten Rome duo chase Inter

Lazio and Roma have become the first two teams from the same city to be unbeaten in Serie A after 11 games, according to Corriere dello Sport, as reported by Football Italia. Not even Milan and Inter have previously managed the feat.

Gennaro Gattuso's Lazio lead the table on 29 points, with Cristian Chivu's champions second on 28 and Gian Piero Gasperini's Roma third on 27. Lazio's total is the best in the club's history at this stage, beating the 28 they had under Simone Inzaghi in 2017-18, and they have the league's best defence with nine goals conceded. Roma have the division's best attack with 31 goals, already have 14 different scorers and have kept a league-high six clean sheets.

Opta's supercomputer remains sceptical, giving Roma an 18% chance of the title and Lazio 10%. Gasperini said he "wouldn't sign for second place", while Gattuso is still talking about reaching 40 points first. The two sides meet in the Derby della Capitale on 13 December.
