The Viola have lost all three of their games in 2013, including a Coppa Italia quarter-final against Roma that went to extra time on Wednesday night.
The Partenopei are overjoyed after their two-point penalty was wiped out and six-month bans for Paolo Cannavaro and Gianluca Grava quashed in an appeal against the betting scandal verdicts.
They are both on the bench, as they haven’t played in a month and Coach Walter Mazzarri pointed out they still need to find match fitness.
There were question marks over the fitness of Alberto Aquilani and David Pizarro, so only the former Liverpool man is able to start for Fiorentina.
Romulo steps into the midfield breach, while Neto is again picked in goal.
