Roberto D'Aversa led the team to Turin in midweek, where they won their cup tie against Torino thanks to a decisive goal from Nicolas Haas, setting up a round of 16 clash with Fiorentina.

Sunday's match will be the third time Empoli have faced Fiorentina in Serie A, and fans will be hoping their impressive start continues. Fiorentina have failed to win any of their last six away Serie A games against Empoli, with no wins since 2016.

After struggling in the Conference League playoffs and picking up just three points against Lazio, Fiorentina are 13th in the table. Manager Raffaele Palladino was delighted with the return of Albert Gudmundsson, who scored two penalties to secure a 2-1 win.

Fiorentina will be determined to beat Empoli to maintain their momentum ahead of their Conference League clash with The New Saints. They started the season with a draw and a defeat, and Palladino will be looking to avoid becoming the first Fiorentina manager to fail to win his first three games in 12 years. Empoli are unbeaten so far and will pose a challenge for Fiorentina in the Derby dell'Arno, but the Viola can take maximum points and restore confidence.
