| Di Carlo can see Franchi shock |

Domenico Di Carlo is confident Chievo can cause an upset on Sunday against fourth placed Fiorentina.
The Flying Donkeys have hit form in 2009 and climbed off the foot of the table thanks to a seven-match unbeaten run.
“Playing against sides of the calibre of Fiorentina, in difficult stadiums like the Franchi, can only give us extra motivation to do well and try to beat them,” said Di Carlo.
“They are an excellent side with great technique and tactical organisation with stars like Alberto Gilardino, Adrian Mutu and Riccardo Montolivo.”
Luciano is injured and Luca Rigoni sits out a ban, so Mario Yepes returns in central defence. Stephen Makinwa is expected to again partner Sergio Pellissier upfront.
“We will need more concentration and it will be crucial to cover all the space, not giving them the depth they need to attack,” concluded Di Carlo.
“At the same time, we must do well to take advantage of those gaps and attack them to create as many chances as possible.
“Would I be happy to take a draw? No, I wouldn't.”
