Udinese arrive from back-to-back defeats when Fiorentina arrive at the Dacia Arena without Gaetano Castrovilli and Nicolas Gonzalez.

The Viola aim to bounce back from the 3-1 defeat to Inter last time, but have to cope without suspended Gonzalez.

Castrovilli shouldn’t be able to return either, as Vincenzo Itlaiano is expected to complete the attacking trident with Riccardo Saponara and Jose Callejon on either side of Dusan Vlahovic.

Udinese should have Jens Stryger Larsen back at left, with Gerard Deulofeu and Ignacio Pussetto expected to start up front.

The hosts have picked up four points from three home games so far this term, but face a strong Fiorentina, who arrive confident after two wins on the road.
