The Stadio Artemio Franchi is the stage for the highly-anticipated encounter as Fiorentina and Internazionale compete for three points in the Italian Serie A.

The Italian champions did the double against Fiorentina in the Serie A last season and also eliminated La Viola from the Coppa Italia in a highly-entertaining last 16 encounters- Internazionale winning after extra time. These three wins stretched the Nerrazzuri's unbeaten run in this fixture to 10 games.

Two in-form in the Serie A sides lock horns

Vincenzo Italiano didn't get off the best start in the Serie A having lost to Mourinho's Roma in the inaugural weekend. The new manager, however, would now be looking to make it four straight wins on the bounce having led his side to three wins in as many games. Three consecutive 2-1 win against Torino, Atalanta and most recent Genoa has catapulted the Florence-based side to 5th on the standings- an unfamiliar position for La Viola faithful in recent seasons. Dusan Vlahovic with three goals so far to his name would certainly be key if they're to deem this season a successful one.

Internazionale got back to winning ways last weekend having failed to win any of their last two games. Poor defensive showing in their last league game against Sampdoria cost the maximum points. Fast forward a couple of days, a late Rodrygo goal condemned Inzaghi's troops to a first group stage loss in the UEFA Champions League as Real Madrid claimed a 1-0 win at San Siro. the emotions were in contrast against Bologna as the defending champions ran riot against Bologna in a 6-1 thrashing. This would be their third win in four games and it puts them at the top of the standings, level on points with city rivals Milan who has an inferior goal difference. It is to be noted that inter have had issues at the back this season
