Massimiliano Allegri: 'Juventus need continuity of results'

Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri has called on his side to produce some continuity in their results ahead of their clash with Inter Milan this weekend.

The current champions have endured a difficult start in the early part of the season, but a win over Roberto Mancini's men on Sunday could see the Old Lady interrupt second-placed La Beneamata's progress at the top.

"We must now gain continuity in our results. I have to assess the condition of all the players that returned from international duty, and those that are injured. Some have not yet recovered enough but they all worked with the team," Allegri told reporters.

"Right now the table says that Inter, Napoli, Milan and then Juventus are the favourites.

"There's also Fiorentina who are having a great year so far and I think they can fight for the top places until the end."

Juve hold 12th spot in the Serie A standings with eight points from seven games thus far.
