Welcome to LIVE text coverage of the Serie A clash between Fiorentina and Milan at Stadio Artemio Franchi.

Munari commits a needless foul as Aquilani is too fleet-footed for the Fiorentina midfielder.

Aquilani this time wins a free kick, and Milan are dominating with Fiorentina forced under the cosh.

Ibrahimovic wins a free kick for Milan, but the set piece is rather wasted as Seedorf looks to take it too quickly.

Seedorf this time decides not to run behind the Fiorentina back four, and simply lashes a fierce shot from the edge of the area - it sails wide!

It's all Milan now as Antonini attempts a through ball to Seedorf, but the Dutchman is ruled offside.

Milan build patiently before Ibrahimovic drags a tame shot wide of the near post from the edge of the Fiorentina box.

Thiago fouls Cerci, and the floppy-haired Fiorentina forward milks it for all he is worth.

Ibrahimovic appeals for handball as Behrami challenges with him in the Fiorentina box, but there was nothing in that.

Robinho makes a sharp run down the right, and Nastasic has to hastily back track and sweep up for the hosts.

Milan finally look as though they are settling into the match, and the visitors keep the ball effectively.

Ambrosini unleashes a wild shot from range which flies high and wide - a poor effort.

Milan sit off pretty deep and soak up the early pressure from their hosts with Seedorf playing pretty far forward.

The first half is underway at the Stadio Artemio Franchi and Fiorentina immediately enjoy a good spell of possession.

THE TEAMS ARE IN! Fiorentina: Boruc, Nastasic, Gamberini, Pasqual, De Silvestri, Montolivo, Lazzari, Munari, Behrami, Gilardino, Cerci.

Delio Rossi (Fiorentina): "AC Milan are in great form and it will be very difficult to stop them. But we will try to do our best and get a result at home."

Massimiliano Allegri (Milan): "We want to remain in the high positions of the standings. But tomorrow we face a Fiorentina side that has found new enthusiasm after a coaching change.We will have to play a great game to bring home a positive result. To face teams coached by Rossi is always difficult and we must be aware that we will take on a team that will have found new motivations, as well as new work methods and we must be ready."

TEAM NEWS: Fiorentina coach Delio Rossi may be without talented forward Stevan Jovetic for his first match in charge at home to champions AC Millan. The Montenegrin, who has been in sensational form this season despite the Viola's indifferent displays, picked up a hip injury on international duty in midweek.

Third-placed Milan have striker Alexandre Pato back in contention for Saturday's trip to Fiorentina after a two-month absence through injury. But the likely return of the Brazilian, who scored a 24-second goal in the 2-2 draw with Barcelona in September, will be Wednesday's Champions League return match against Barca at the San Siro.
