Empoli and Como face off in Monday's gameweek 11 Serie A match-up at Stadio Carlo Castellani, keen to move on from a wretched October.
Both sides notched one point from four games last month, joint-worst in the Italian top flight, and they hope for improved fortunes.
We say: Empoli 1-1 Como
Despite Empoli's wretched form in front of goal at the Castellani this term, we expect a marginally more attacking approach against a leaky Como.
However, the spoils could be shared, with Fabregas's men possessing enough in attack to unpick the home side's rearguard.

Both struggling at the wrong end of Serie A, promoted Parma and rock-bottom Genoa will scrap it out for three points on Monday, as they meet at Stadio Tardini.
Neither side has won a single game since August, so the stakes will be high when two relegation rivals convene.
We say: Parma 2-1 Genoa
Having shown clear potential and come close to picking up several more points, Parma should finally capitalise against Genoa, taking advantage of their visitors' woes.
Short of numbers and low on confidence, the Grifone will suffer another defeat, leaving them stuck to the foot of the standings.

After posting seven wins from eight games in all competitions, Lazio aim to continue in that vein on Monday, when they welcome Cagliari to Stadio Olimpico.
While the Biancocelesti are riding high in the Serie A standings, their Sardinian counterparts have won just twice in the league this season.
We say: Lazio 2-0 Cagliari
In their present form, Lazio should ease past a toothless Cagliari side on home turf, where they are particularly tough to beat.
The hosts have several attacking weapons to call upon, whereas their struggling visitors average under a goal per game.
