There are big changes in Sardinia, as Zeman is back on the bench after he was sacked in December to make way for Gianfranco Zola.
The new boss struggled in recent weeks and was fired after picking up just one point from six rounds.
Zeman has returned and brought with him the all-attack 4-3-3 system he’s famous for, the motto being: 'A horizontal pass is a pointless one.'
Danilo Avelar and Andrea Cossu are suspended with Albin Ekdal, Godfred Donsah and Marco Capuano injured.
Empoli are also known for their impressive style of football, though it has so far earned Coach Maurizio Sarri more compliments than points.
Mirko Valdifiori is suspended, so Signorelli starts in midfield behind Levan Mchedlidze, Riccardo Saponara and Massimo Maccarone.
Lorenzo Tonelli has not recovered from a sprained ankle, so Federico Barba starts.
Empoli have never won this fixture in Serie A, managing only one draw from four attempts.
Earlier this season, Zeman oversaw a 4-0 Cagliari victory at the Stadio Castellani.
Home and away, there have been 11 goals in the last three meetings between these clubs.
Cagliari: Brkic; Balzano, Ceppitelli, Diakité, Murru; Dessena, Crisetig, Joao Pedro; Farias, Sau, M’Poku
Empoli: Sepe; Hysaj, Rugani, Barba, Mario Rui; Vecino, Signorelli, Croce; Saponara; Maccarone, Mchedlidze
