There is one relegation spot still open, which will be taken by Fiorentina, Empoli or Genoa.

You can read the various permutations and what every side needs to avoid the drop HERE.

The result at the Stadio Franchi is going to be absolutely decisive, as Genoa are currently in the bottom three.

Fiorentina Coach Vincenzo Montella will be in the stands, as he must sit out a one-match ban for punching an advertising board, which unbeknownst to him had a steward behind it.

Marko Pjaca is the only injury absentee, as Kevin Mirallas has shaken off a knock, meaning it is the usual confusion over who will start in the trident attack.

Only Federico Chiesa is sure of his spot, as Luis Muriel, Giovanni Simeone and Mirallas fight for the remaining two slots.

There could even be a switch to 3-5-2 from Montella, using only Muriel and Chiesa as more traditional forwards, with Bryan Dabo out wide on the right.

German Pezzella returns to the defence after surgery for a fractured nose.

Giuseppe Pezzella – no relation – is suspended for Genoa, with Darko Lazovic, Lukas Lerager, Andrea Favilli, Oscar Hiljemark and Stefano Sturaro injured.

Goran Pandev and Christian Kouame are the favourites to start upfront rather than Gianluca Lapadula, with Ervin Zukanovic requiring a fitness test at the last minute in defence.

Probable line-ups

Fiorentina: Lafont; Milenkovic, Pezzella, Vitor Hugo; Dabo, Benassi, Gerson, Veretout, Biraghi; Muriel, Chiesa

Genoa: Radu; Biraschi, Romero, Zukanovic, Criscito; Pedro Pereira, Bessa, Radovanovic, Veloso; Pandev, Kouame
