** On the way to Juventus vs Livorno



Four days after the win against Bayern Munchen, Juventus, leaders of the league, are back on the pitch, again at the Delle Alpi stadium, to meet Donadoni's Livorno. After breaking the historical record of consecutive wins at the start of the season, winning nine times out of as many Serie A matchdays, Capello's squad was defeated for the first time this season by Milan and now they want to get back on track.

In order to do so, they'll have to beat the Tuscans, who are a solid side and on form, actually fifth-ranked in the table. The leader of this year's Livorno is striker Lucarelli, last season's top goalscorer with 24 goals, the real heart and soul of the Tuscan squad. Compared to the 2004/2005 roster, Livorno have kept the defence virtually unchanged, while they changed the midfield and attack a lot, with the departure of Vidigal and Vigiani and the arrival of Colucci, Morrone, De Ascentis, Bakayoko and Palladino.

After the harsh defeat against Inter three weeks ago, Donadoni's side have never lost, earning two wins and a draw in the last three matchdays. The Amaranto proved they feel at ease at home, conquering thirteen points out of the fifteen at stakes since the beginning of the season. However, the Tuscans had some problem playing away: one win, two draws and two defeat is what Livorno earned away from the Picchi stadium. Juventus will try to make the most of this vulnerability, in order to achieve the tenth win of the season and get back on track in their race on top of the table.
