Fiorentina aim to build on their great start to life under Vincenzo Italiano when Salernitana arrive on Saturday.

The former Spezia coach has guided the team to sixth in Serie A after 16 games and the Viola are currently tied on points with Juventus ahead of this weekend’s games.

Fiorentina should have Nicolas Gonzalez ready, one of the protagonists against Bologna, and he should complete the trident with Dusan Vlahovic and Riccardo Saponara.

Franck Ribery is ready to kickstart his season with the Granata and help the newly promoted side battle for safety in the top division.
