    It's a Tuscan derby game, so emotions will be running high, not least because nobody would've expected the Amaranto of Livorno to be a point ahead of the Viola in the standings at this point of the season.

    Fiorentina has their whole team available and should start with this lineup in a 3-4-2-1.

    Lupatelli
    Delli Carri
    Viali
    Dainelli
    Ariatti
    Obodo
    Maresca
    Chiellini
    Jorgensen
    Nakata
    Miccoli

    Chiellini played with Livorno last season, so it's a particularly interesting game for him. Obodo is in the sights of many big clubs - he's being likened to a young Edgar Davids-type. Livorno hasn't lost in 5 games while Fiorentina had gone 6 straight without a loss ahead of last week's dull performance in Turin.

    Game finished 1-1 with goals by Rigano' and Lucarelli. BTW, congrats to Chiellini and Miccoli, who have been called up to the national team for Wednesday's friendly vs Finland. It's Chiellini's first callup to the Azzurri.

    Saw the highlights on Novantessimo Minuto. From what they showed and how the guy talked about the game, it seemed that Fiorentina dominated the game, but couldn't score after the opener. Their goal, a Rigano' header from Miccoli's cross, was pretty impressive.

    from the highlights I saw on yahoo, Fiorentina did look pretty good...and even rigano's disallowed goal late for offside was very close...I watched it 2 or 3 times...could have gone either way.
