Juan Cuadrado has returned to the Fiorentina side for this afternoon's Tuscan derby against Empoli.

The Colombian international was suspended for last weekend's 4-1 win against Cesena, but he returns to the midfield alongside Juan Vargas.

Mario Gomez will lead the attack alongside Matias Fernandez, with Joaquin providing support from out wide.

Francesco Tavano and Massimo Maccarone lead the line for the visitors, who will be looking to stretch their unbeaten run in Serie A to six games.
