&lt;p&gt;It’s a Tuscan derby between Empoli and Fiorentina at 18:00 CEST on matchday 6 in the Serie A Enilive. Three of Empoli’s last four league home games have ended in a goalless draw including the last two, but the hosts beat Cagliari last week and will be looking for another three points to continue the magic moments that saw them third in the table, level with Juventus.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Looking for their second consecutive win will be Raffaele Palladino’s Fiorentina who bagged their first against Lazio and face D’Aversa’s side in the hopes of climbing the table ahead of the Conference League opener against the New Saints.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;HEAD-TO-HEAD&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Empoli have drawn three of their last four league games against Fiorentina (L1), after failing to record a draw in their previous seven Serie A games against the Viola (W3 L4).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Fiorentina have won just one of their last six Serie A away games against Empoli (D2 L3) – 4-0 in November 2016 – after winning four of their previous five (D1).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This is only the third time that Empoli have faced Fiorentina in Serie A with more points in the standings at the start of the matchday than their opposition: in the previous two, the Viola won (2-1 in October 2006) and the pair drew the other (1-1 in February 2023).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;DID YOU KNOW?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Empoli have remained unbeaten in their first five Serie A matches for the first time in the competition (W2 D3); overall, the only Tuscan team to have gone unbeaten in their first six games of a single top-flight campaign in the last 40 years were Fiorentina in 2007/08.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Fiorentina have won three of their last six away games in Serie A (D1 L2), having failed to register a win in their previous six. However, the Viola have started this campaign under Raffaele Palladino with a draw and a defeat away from home: the last manager to fail to win any of his first three away games in the competition with this team was Vincenzo Montella in 2012/13.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Fiorentina, together with Juventus, are one of two teams that have not conceded a goal during the second half in this Serie A season, whilst only Monza (17) have attempted fewer shots than Empoli (22) in the second halves of the current tournament.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;PLAYERS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sebastiano Esposito became the second player in Serie A history under the age of 23 to score two consecutive goals in the competition over 1,700 days apart (1,735, less than Giuliano Fiorini`s 2016 in 1980); the Empoli striker could find the net in two consecutive league appearances for the first time since last December, when he scored for Sampdoria against Feralpisalò and Bari.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ardian Ismajli has recorded the most clearances of any Serie A player so far this season (51), while Empoli`s other central defender, Mattia Viti, is first for tackles won (15). However, among outfield players currently in the tournament, Ismajli (5850) is second on the list of players who have played the most minutes without scoring over the last four Serie A seasons (since 2021/22).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Empoli are the team against whom Moise Kean has scored the most goals in Serie A: three in five matches. The Fiorentina striker has also scored in two of his last three games in the topflight, as many times as in the previous 36.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;DISCIPLINE&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Suspended: none&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cautioned: none&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;REFEREE&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Aureliano (Imperiale-Fontemurato) IV: Di Marco; VAR: Di Paolo; AVAR: Pezzuto&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;UPCOMING MATCHES IN SERIE A&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Lazio-Empoli (Sunday 6 October, 15:00 CEST)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Fiorentina-Milan (Sunday 6 October, 20:45 CEST)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;(Photo LaPresse)&lt;/p&gt;
