It has been a tough few months for La Viola, who are winless in their last nine matches across all competitions. They were beaten 3-1 by Sassuolo in Serie A over the weekend, and have also lost their last two matches in the Conference League: 1-0 at home against AEK Athens and 2-1 away against Mainz.

Dzeko is called in to replace Albert Gudmundsson in attack this evening. Wholesale changes have been made in midfield, with Amir Richardson, Hans Nicolussi Caviglia and Cher Ndour coming in for Simon Sohm, Nicolo Fagioli and Rolando Mandragora.

Luca Ranieri and Pablo Mari are also rested at the back, with opportunities for Marin Pongracic and Mattia Viti instead.

Fiorentina (3-5-2): De Gea; Pongracic, Comuzzo, Viti; Dodô, Richardson, Nicolussi Caviglia, Ndour, Fortini; Kean, Dzeko.

Dynamo Kyiv (4-3-3): Neshcheret; Tymchyk, Zakharchenko, Thiare, Dubinchak, Pikhalyonov, Mihaylenko, Shaparenko; Voloshyn, Guerrero, Kabalev.
