I'm Simon Harrison and I will be keeping you up to date with all of the action, as the visitors attempt to close the seven point gap between themselves and La Viola. Fiorentina have picked up only one point from the last available six, drawing with Roma last time out and losing heavily to Lazio the matchday before that. Montella has altered his system slightly as a result, reverting to what appears to be a 3-5-1-1 formation this evening.
Hello and welcome to live coverage of Milan's visit to Florence, as the visitors face up against Vincenzo Montella's Fiorentina outfit at Stadio Artemio Franchi. The hosts sit in fifth place and require three points in order to keep themselves firmly in the frame for European football come the end of the campaign. The Rossoneri, meanwhile, have won merely once during their last five competitive matches, with Filippo Inzaghi certainly under a great deal of pressure to get positive results and fast.
