Fiorentina coach Vincenzo Montella has decided to start veteran striker Luca Toni in today's crucial Serie A clash with Palermo.

Toni comes in for Adem Ljajic as he continues a two-match ban for insulting officials after their home defeat to Roma.

La Viola are also without Marcelo Larrondo and Mohamed Sissoko, while Alberto Aquilani is only fit enough for a place on the bench.

Palermo have left veteran striker Fabrizio Miccoli on the bench today for a match that they must win to avoid relegation.

Young Argentine striker Paulo Dybala leads attack and is supported by Abel Hernandez and Alejandro Faurlin.

Fiorentina: Viviano, Roncaglia, Rodriguez, Savic, Cuadrado, Fernandez, Pizarro, Borja Valero, Pasqual, Jovetic, Toni

Palermo: Sorrentino, Munoz, Donati, Von Bergen, Morganella, Arevalo Rios, Faurlin, Kurtic, Garcia, Dybala, Hernandez
