Fiorentina start Luis Muriel, Federico Chiesa and Giovanni Simeone against a Chievo side relying on Emanuele Giaccherini and Sergio Pellissier.

The Viola are still not delivering the kind of results their squad would suggest, always seemingly on the verge of something great.

That was highlighted in last week’s 3-3 thriller with Sampdoria, which saw Muriel score a brace on his league debut for the club, but Edimilson Fernandes sent off.

Edimilson is therefore suspended along with Cristiano Biraghi, so David Hancko and Christian Nordgaard are given a chance to start.

There is a last-minute development, as defender Nikola Milenkovic is suffering from flu and woke up with a temperature, so is not even on the bench.

It means Vincent Laurini steps in to the back four.

Muriel, Simeone and Chiesa again form that exciting trident attack.

Chievo are bottom of the table, but only because of the three-point penalty for financial irregularities, otherwise they would be ahead of Frosinone.

Coach Domenico Di Carlo is unbeaten at home since taking over and lost only to Sampdoria and Juventus during his tenure.

He too has two players suspended, Sofian Kiyine and Mattia Bani, so Luca Rossettini joins the defence and Nicola Rigoni the midfield.

Veterans Giaccherini and Pellissier point the way forward with Mariusz Stepinski.

Ivan Radovanovic is not in the squad ahead of an imminent transfer to Genoa.

Chievo: Sorrentino; Depaoli, Tomovic, Rossettini, Jaroszynski; Rigoni, Leris, Hetemaj; Giaccherini; Stepinski, Pellissier

Fiorentina: Lafont; Laurini, Pezzella, Vitor Hugo, Hancko; Benassi, Norgaard, Veretout; Chiesa, Simeone, Muriel
