Fiorentina run the genuine risk of sliding back into the relegation zone and must reshuffle their defence for this difficult trip to Verona.

Serie A Week 32 kicks off at the Stadio Bentegodi at 19.45 UK time (18.45 GMT).

The Viola are now level with Torino – who have a game in hand – and Benevento on 30 points, just five clear of Cagliari and the bottom three.

They are by no means safe and scraped one point from the last four games.

The Viola are now level with Torino – who have a game in hand – and Benevento on 30 points, just five clear of Cagliari and the bottom three.

They are by no means safe and scraped one point from the last four games.

Verona aren’t doing much better, losing five of their last six matches, but have the mid-table comfort afforded by their strong start to the season.

Nikola Milenkovic is suspended, so Martin Caceres and Lucas Martinez Quarta complete the back three with captain German Pezzella.

Borja Valero and Aleksandar Kokorin are out injured, but Giacomo Bonaventura supports Franck Ribery and Dusan Vlahovic.

Verona have the usual line-up of absentees, including Miguel Veloso, although ex-Verona striker Nikola Kalinic is on the bench.

Kevin Lasagna leads the attack with Antonin Barak and Daniel Bessa, as Mattia Zaccagni is rested.

Verona: Silvestri; Dawidowicz, Gunter, Dimarco; Faraoni, Tameze, Ilic, Lazovic; Barak, Bessa; Lasagna

Fiorentina: Dragowski; Caceres, Pezzella, Martinez Quarta; Venuti, Amrabat, Pulgar, Bonaventura, Biraghi; Ribery, Vlahovic
