This is a head-to-head for Europa League ambitions and only three points separate them going in.
The Viola start January signing Muriel, who faces his former club after an experience at Sevilla.
While in the Coppa Italia against Fiorentina, the Colombian was used as the centre-forward in place of Simeone, here they work together with Chiesa on the left of their trident.
Sampdoria must reshuffle in midfield, as Karol Linetty and Edgar Barreto are out injured, while new buy Manolo Gabbiadini is not fit enough to start yet.
It means Jakub Jankto steps in to midfield, with Gaston Ramirez and Gianluca Caprari supporting veteran Quagliarella.
Fiorentina: Lafont; Milenkovic, Pezzella, Hugo, Biraghi; Gerson, Veretout, Edimilson Fernandes; Chiesa, Simeone, Muriel
Sampdoria: Audero; Sala, Tonelli, Andersen, Murru; Praet, Ekdal, Jankto; Ramirez; Caprari, Quagliarella
