Udinese head coach Stefano Colantuono has claimed that Napoli have so far been the best side in Serie A this season.

The two teams face each other tomorrow at the Stadio San Paolo, with Udinese in 14th and Napoli just two points behind joint league leaders Fiorentina and Inter Milan.

"The best team in the Serie A are our opponents, but we can make their lives difficult if we have the right attitude," Colantuono told reporters ahead of the game in Naples.

"We want to do something a bit different and find a system that gives us more balance, perhaps with Bruno Fernandes playing as a second striker.

"It is necessary that we do a good job in stifling their creative players and prevent them from having too much time."

Udinese have won just once in their last five games, while Napoli are in form having won 10 of their last 12 matches.
