The 2009/10 Serie A season is hotting up nicely with most of the usual suspects rising to the top of the table.

Jose Mourinho’s Inter Milan are going for their fifth consecutive scudetto and currently sit top of the tree in Italy. City rivals AC Milan have recovered from a dreadful start to the season to sit in third place in the table but will take a lot of heart from their 3-2 win in the Bernabeu against Real Madrid in their UEFA Champions League group match.

Juventus appointed their former defender Ciro Ferrara to the manager’s hot-seat following the dismissal of Claudio Ranieri and the rookie has surpassed expectation by sitting in a creditable second position with almost a third of the season gone.

Sampdoria made a flying start but their challenge has wilted of late while Fiorentina are chugging along nicely with their potent strikeforce of Adrian Mutu and Alberto Gilardino causing headaches for opposing defences.

The teams from the capital are both struggling though AS Roma are slowly climbing the table following the arrival of local man Ranieri. Lazio, however, are still looking down rather than up as they sit precariously above the relegation zone.
