The Neroverdi had been 2-0 up at the Stadio Olimpico on Saturday only to be pegged back to 2-2 by an Adem Ljajic brace.

They still extended their nine-round club record unbeaten Serie A run, but today’s opponents Palermo are also without defeat in six.

“The Sicilians are coming off a run of consistent results too, thanks also to Iachini who has been able to give them a precise identity. It will be an entertaining game,” promised Di Francesco.

“The Stadio Barbera has always been a tough venue and we need to be wary in the first half, as that’s when Palermo tend to score a lot of their goals.”

Francesco Magnanelli returns from suspension, but Domenico Berardi, Sime Vrsaljko and Federico Peluso sit out bans.

Sassuolo squad for Palermo: Pomini, Polito, Consigli, Longhi, Ariaudo, Acerbi, Bianco, Gazzola, Terranova, Cannavaro, Magnanelli, Chibsah, Missiroli, Biondini, Taider, Brighi, Zaza, Pavoletti, Sansone, Floro Flores, Gliozzi, Floccari
