Eusebio Di Francesco: "Sassuolo will fight to the death"

Sassuolo manager Eusebio Di Francesco has said that his team will "fight to the death" in their match against Juventus on Monday evening.

The Neroverdi are currently 17th in the Serie A table and head into their clash with the league leaders in good form, having claimed seven points from their last three league matches.

"We are Sassuolo, there are four games to play and it would be illogical not to give it our all, he told reporters.

"I think there ought to be more respect for the smaller clubs who fight to the death, just as we will tomorrow against Juventus.

"This is a very important match for us and there is a lot at stake."

Juventus claimed a 4-0 win over Sassuolo when the teams met earlier this season, with Carlos Tevez grabbing a hat-trick.
