This is a relegation battle, but surprisingly Spezia in their first ever Serie A campaign are higher up the table right now than Fiorentina.

Ribery is out injured again, but Gaetano Castrovilli is benched in favour of Erick Pulgar and Giacomo Bonaventura, supporting Kouame and Vlahovic.

Siena are fresh from shock victories over Sassuolo and then-leaders Milan, with Vincenzo Italiano’s high-intensity football impressing new fans all over Europe.

He’s done it despite missing a lot of key players, including top scorer M’Bala Nzola, Diego Farias and Claudio Terzi, while today both defenders Simone Bastoni and Martin Erlic are suspended.

Today’s match is particularly intriguing, because ex-Fiorentina flops Riccardo Saponara and Kevin Agudelo both start in the trident attack, with Agudelo finding a new lease of life as a False 9.

Fiorentina: Dragowski; Milenkovic, Pezzella, Martinez Quarta; Venuti, Bonaventura, Pulgar, Amrabat, Biraghi; Kouame, Vlahovic

Spezia: Provedel; Vignali, Ismajli, Chabot; Marchizza; Estevez, Ricci, Maggiore; Gyasi, Agudelo, Saponara
