Juventus vs. Fiorentina: Marchisio calls for caution from the resurgent champion

Defending champion Juventus entertains second-placed Fiorentina on a weekend that could see plenty of change at the top of Serie A.

Juventus midfielder Claudio Marchisio has urged his teammates to be wary of second-placed Fiorentina on Sunday as the champion seeks to extend its winning run in Serie A to six matches.

Following a difficult start to their Scudetto defense, Juve has picked up of late and climbed to fifth following last Friday's victory over Lazio.

Ahead of Fiorentina's trip to Turin - the visitor seeking to make it seven Serie A games unbeaten - third-placed Napoli takes on Roma in fourth, meaning Juve has the potential to make further ground on the leading pack.
