Catania

Catania striker Alejandro Gomez is ready to give Vincenzo Montella a less than welcoming reception on his return to the Stadio Angelo Massimino. Montella left Sicily for Fiorentina in the summer but Catania have remained a force to be reckoned with under successor Rolando Maran. Gomez said: "I feel good and I'm happy at Catania, I'm not interested in leaving. I'm only thinking about the present and I agree with the management who've decided to keep all the best players until at least June. I am always looking to give my all. We banished our poor away form at Genoa and now we want to repeat the trick against La Viola in front of our own fans. Mr Maran is doing some great work and the players are all eager to help him in his first experience in Serie A. There will be some big players missing on Sunday but I'm convinced of the strength of our squad players." Francesco Lodi and Gonzalo Bergessio are two such players, with both men serving one-match suspensions against Fiorentina, while Sergio Almiron, Fabio Sciacca and Giovanni Marchese struggle with injuries. Catania conceded a solitary point to La Viola last season and the Tuscan club have not returned home with all three points from this fixture since May 2009.
