Former AC Milan coach Arrigo Sacchi insists Napoli remain Scudetto favourites.

The defending champions have stumbled in recent weeks, including defeat to Udinese on the weekend.

Sacchi told La Gazzetta dello Sport: "The Rossoneri, Inter, and Napoli have shown their flaws. Nothing stops Roma from entering the Scudetto race; there's time to do so. 

"I explain (Napoli coach Antonio) Conte's ups and downs like this. The Azzurri, when they play well, have a more European style, while the Nerazzurri are a bit shaky at the back, even though they have a lethal attack.

"Then there's Milan, who are very solid."  

On Milan, he added: "Why have they dropped so many points against small and medium-sized teams? They need to work hard, especially defensively." 

 Sacchi doesn't shy away from predictions either, declaring that Napoli are the favorites, ahead of Inter and Milan.
