“It won’t be easy, as Paulo Sousa’s side has so much character and quality,” said the Coach in his Press conference.

“They’ve been fighting for the top spots for a few years now and are very competitive. During this period without European competition, they could get even stronger.

“In my view Fiorentina are genuine Scudetto contenders. I expect intensity and quality from my players, but also particular focus on the marvellous Nikola Kalinic.”

Palermo have already signed Manuel Arteaga and Matheus Cassini with a deal in place for Benfica midfielder Bryan Cristante, but none of the new buys are in the squad for tomorrow.

“Arteaga just arrived, let’s leave him in peace to settle. I’ve known Cristante since the Milan youth team and expect other reinforcements in January.

“Robin Quaison is called up, but has only one training session since the knee injury.”

Palermo squad for Alastra, Colombi, Sorrentino; Andelkovic, Goldaniga, Lazaar, Morganella, Pezzella, Pirrello, Rispoli, Struna; Bolzoni, Brugman, Chochev, Hiljemark, Jajalo, Quaison, Toscano; Djurdjevic, Gilardino, La Gumina, Trajkovski, Vazquez
