The Bianconeri are already five points clear of Roma and this evening the Giallorossi visit on form Fiorentina.

Gigi Buffon has recovered from a bout of flu, but Andrea Pirlo is still feeling the sniffles, so he is rested for this game.

Also unavailable are Romulo and Kwadwo Asamoah, while Andrea Barzagli is on the bench for the first time in four months due to a recurring Achilles tendon problem.

Chievo have caused difficulties for big clubs this season, most famously a victory away to Napoli, so their counter-attacking style is not to be underestimated.

Last week they had threatened to beat Fiorentina, but were caught out at the 94th minute in a heart-breaking 2-1 defeat.

However, the Flying Donkeys have never won this fixture, managing just three draws from 11 visits.

Bostjan Cesar is suspended in defence, but Alberto Paloschi leads the attack with ex-Inter players Ezequiel Schelotto and Ruben Botta.

New signing Anders Christiansen is on the bench ready for his Serie A debut.
