Roma coach Paulo Fonseca says it's too soon to discuss a title challenge.

Roma meet Atalanta today well placed inside the top four.

Fonseca said, “It's only December, all the teams are quite close at the moment and can arrive in the top four. We can do better and we have to be in the top four, but it's too early to talk about anything else.

“I always want the team to be balanced and the same goes for me too. I know that people act like we're the best in the world when we win and the worst in the world when we lose. We've just got to keep that balance.

“It's only natural that this Roma side is improving, as we've been together for a year-and-a-half now. We also brought in players who transformed the squad and we're all getting to know each other better."
