Roma goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny has warned Juventus they're hunting them down.

Roma are seen as genuine title contenders this season.

“We are not here to challenge for second spot," Szczesny told Roma TV.

“We want to go out and win the competition, whether that's Serie A or the Europa League. So we are still very much focused on winning the Scudetto.

“We believe we can do it: we believe that Juventus are obviously the favourites but we won't give up and we'll give them a very hard run.

“I think any period… if you can put a good run of wins together, it does not matter if it is against Juventus or Milan or Lazio, every three points is just as important.

“So we realise it is an important period for us, before the winter break, if we can be at the top or near the top of the table it would be a good position for us to push on from January.

“So we realise how important it is – it's all in our hands really."
