I Giallorossi lost further ground on Juve after last weekend's 1-1 result at Fiorentina, their fourth draw in their last five league games, and will look to get back to winning ways against Empoli on Saturday. Juve, meanwhile, made it three wins in a row with a 2-0 triumph over Chievo.

"Seven points might seem a lot but you only need Juve to lose two games and for Roma to win two in order to get back in contention," Yanga-Mbiwa told the Italian press. "It's up to us to get back to winning ways as soon as possible. Juve have had more continuity so far but the season is long and all the teams go through delicate times. We just hope our difficult spell ends soon and we return to win this weekend."

Yanga-Mbiwa, who spent the first half of the season on loan at the Roma, this week completed his permanent transfer to the Eternal City club from Newcastle United. Juve travel to the Stadio Friuli to face Udinese on Sunday having earned a place in the semi-finals of the Coppa Italia after their midweek 1-0 triumph at Parma.

Napoli are third and hold the last UEFA Champions League qualifying spot. Rafael Benitez's side play at Chievo hoping Argentina striker Gonzalo Higuain can maintain his goalscoring form. Higuain has struck five times in Napoli's last four league games, including a brace in their 2-1 triumph over Genoa last time out.

Lazio, who are one place and two points adrift of Napoli, play away at lowly Cesena on Sunday looking to end a positive week on a high note. The Romans followed their 3-1 home triumph over AC Milan last weekend with a 1-0 midweek victory against the same team at the San Siro to reach the Coppa Italia semi-finals.

Sampdoria are level on 34 points with Lazio. The Genoa outfit strengthened their attacking line with the arrival of Samuel Eto'o from Everton this week and the Cameroonian forward could make his Samp debut at Torino on Sunday. Fiorentina travel to face Genoa on Saturday, while eighth-place Palermo are unbeaten at the Stadio Renzo Barbera since 29 September and play at home to Hellas Verona on Sunday.

AC Milan host bottom-side Parma with both teams looking to bounce back from their midweek eliminations from the Coppa Italia. Inter Milan are level on 26 points with city rivals Milan and visit Sassuolo looking to bounce back from last weekend's 1-0 home defeat to Torino.

Cagliari have collected seven points in their last three league games to pull away from the drop zone. The Sardinian outfit, coached by Gianfranco Zola, make the journey to Bergamo to face Atalanta.
