With Juventus being deducted 15 points, they are down to 10th place, however this would not change a lot upfront, as Napoli have a comfortable lead. Spalletti’s men are on 50 points, 12 more than Milan. Lazio are currently 3rd on 37, same as Inter and Mourinho’s AS Roma. Atalanta sit 6th.
There are not one, but two teams who are yet to hit double digit points in Serie A. Cremonese is on 8, while Sampdoria is on 9. Verona are also in a bad spot, as they sit 18th, with 12 points. Sassuolo has a bit more, they are on 17 points, on the 17th place.
Team of the Week
Two Atalanta players, two from Napoli, two from Roma and two from Lazio this time around. Zaccagni and Lookman are up top, with Roma duo Dybala and El Shaarawy in midfield. They are supported by Luis Alberto and Angel Di Maria.
At the back we have the fullback pairing from Napoli of Mario Rui and Di Lorenzo. The two centre backs are De Vrij and Ferrari. The younger Milinkovic Savic is the keeper.
