The result at the Stadio Franchi is going to be absolutely decisive, as Genoa are currently in the bottom three.

Fiorentina Coach Vincenzo Montella will be in the stands, as he must sit out a one-match ban for punching an advertising board, which unbeknownst to him had a steward behind it.

Marko Pjaca is the only injury absentee, as Kevin Mirallas has shaken off a knock, but the Belgian starts from the bench as Il Aeroplanino goes with a three-man midfield.

Federico Chiesa starts up front alongside Luis Muriel, while Gerson, Marco Benassi, and Jordan Veretout man the midfield engine room.

German Pezzella returns to the backline after surgery for a fractured nose.

Giuseppe Pezzella – no relation – is suspended for Genoa, with Darko Lazovic, Lukas Lerager, Andrea Favilli, Oscar Hiljemark and Stefano Sturaro injured.

Goran Pandev and Christian Kouame start upfront rather than Gianluca Lapadula, while Ervin Zukanovic passed a late fitness test and takes his place in the heart of defence.

Fiorentina: Lafont; Milenkovic, Pezzella, Vitor Hugo; Edimilson Fernandes, Benassi, Gerson, Veretout, Biraghi; Muriel, Chiesa

Genoa: Radu; Biraschi, Romero, Zukanovic, Criscito; Pedro Pereira, Bessa, Radovanovic, Veloso; Pandev, Kouame
