AC Milan will be looking to put behind them their disastrous weekend outing when they host Juventus at the San Siro tonight in the Coppa Italia first leg semi-final.

AC Milan continued where they left off last Wednesday by beating Cagliari 3-0 at the San Siro yesterday to take them to within a point of leaders Juventus. Juve on the other hand were 2-1 winners over Udinese on Saturday.

La sfida è di quelle difficili ma molto affascinanti, come sempre del resto quando si gioca contro la Vecchia Signora.

Liverpool have been offered Serbia winger Milos Krasic by Juventus.
Krasic is not wanted by new Juve coach Antonio Conte and the Serie A giants have approached Liverpool because ex-boss Rafa Benitez showed interest in him.
Juventus have told the Reds they can have Krasic for the £12million they paid CSKA Moscow for him in 2010.

É una Juve da record ma stanca, il muro del Cagliari non crolla Di Alessandro Paparella Le avvisaglie mamifestatesi gi una settimana f al "Via Del Mare" circa una Juve in evidente regresso dal punto di vista atletico rispetto alle partite precedenti la sosta natalizia, hanno purtroppo trovato una conferma nel pareggio interno contro il Cagliari.

Andrea Barzagli believes Juventus were unlucky not to claim all three points against Cagliari on Sunday. Mirko Vucinic's opener was cancelled out by Andrea Cossu's strike early in the second half, but, after peppering the Cagliari goal, Juve could not find a winner. "It's a shame not to have won. We created many opportunities without being able to make the most of them," said the central.

Juventus will be at home for the first time in 2012 on Sunday when they welcome Cagliari to the Juventus Stadium. Starting the New Year off with more of a whimper than a bang, Juve did manage to take home the three points from Lecce even if it was a struggle. As Antonio Conte stated afterwards, they will look to build from that match and improve their performance.

Per l'Inter riprende il campionato. Ma la testa è al mercato Di Mauro Giordano Dopo la sosta natalizia riprende la corsa dei nerazzurri di Claudio Ranieri. Alla luce degli ottimi risultati con i quali è stato chiuso il 2011, è lecito aspettarsi una prova di forza della squadra, attualmente a 26 punti, 8 in meno rispetto a alla coppia di testa rappresentata da Juve e Milan.

He's back.

One of the greatest players in the history of the Premier League and a man identifiable with one club despite playing for multiple (don't forget Monaco and Juve too), he's going back 'round for another in sort of a substitute capacity. Possibly as a substitute. The most recent comparison is Sheva back to Milan, which went down like a lead balloon, but Titi wasn't exactly Sheva-crispy when he left big time Europe for American pastures.

Serie A Weekly welcomes writer Luca Cetta to our pages Udinese and Juventus played out a 0-0 draw at the Stadio Friuli in Wednesday evening's early Serie A kick-off. The winner would go first, but in a match of few clear cut chances, Juve remains unbeaten while Udinese's home winning streak has come to an end.

Serie A leaders Juventus lost their hold on top of the table after settling for a barren draw with Udinese at the Stadio Friuli last night. The draws sees Milan pip Juve to top spot although both clubs remain level on 34 points.

There was some good news for Claudio Ranieri and Inter Milan as his side were big winners on the night beating Lecce 4-1 at the San Siro to move up to to 5th place.

Monday saw Juventus go back to the top of the table but their grip on the lead has loosened, as they are now level on points with Udinese. Following the draw with Roma, Juve and Udinese now both have 30 points on the season, and although Conte and his men have expressed their delight with the draw, one can't help but feel that this was a missed opportunity for Juve, especially considering that.

La Juventus è capolista solitaria. Lo dice la classifica di Serie A, lo dice il campo, con i bianconeri che espugnano l'Olimpico, piegano la Lazio grazie alla rete decisiva di Pepe (romano e romanista) e volano al primo posto, da soli, con 25 punti.
