Palermo host Catania at La Favorita in tomorrow's Sicilian duel with both teams in desperate need of points.
The hosts will want to improve on their current position of 11th in the standings while Gianluca Atzori's Catania look to have finally got over a nightmare spell of injuries and will be anxious to move out of the drop zone.
The return of six players from injury is good news for Atzori, whose side lie 19th in the table having mustered just one victory and eight points so far. Giusepe Bellusci, Jorge Martinez, Takayuki Morimoto, Simone Pesce, Marco Biagianti and Gianvito Plasmati have all recovered during the international break from their respective injuries and will be available.
However Catania, who won 4-0 at Palermo last season, are well aware they face a tough task with Sunday's rivals remain unbeaten at home.
Palermo president Maurizio Zamparini has given a vote of confidence to coach Walter Zenga ahead of the match. Zenga had been under pressure following his team's surprising 3-1 defeat at Bologna in the last round, which marked their fourth defeat of the campaign and left the team four points behind Genoa, who hold the last European qualifying spot.
Zenga will field Edison Cavani alongside Fabrizio Miccoli in attack. The hosts will be without injured midfielder Giovanni Tedesco, midfielder Simone Kjaer and striker Davide Succi, but welcome back defender Federico Balzaretti.
