The reigning champions need just four more points to claim a fifth consecutive title, but their coach is expecting a tricky game against Fiorentina

Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri believes his side are in for a tricky battle when they head to Florence to face Fiorentina on Sunday, with the current league leaders looking to edge closer to a fifth successive title.

"We need to get a positive result against Fiorentina. They'll be pumped up for it and we can expect a tough match," Allegri told reporters.

"It will be a very intense match. They're the side that has scored most often in the first 30 minutes.

"But we go to Florence looking to bring three points back to Turin."

Allegri will have more options available than of late, with Paulo Dybala and Sami Khedira available to play, whilst he will rest defender Giorgio Chiellini.

"Dybala recharged the batteries while out injured," Allegri added.

"I have yet to decide whether to start Khedira

"[Giorgio] Chiellini is in good shape but he'll be rested against Fiorentina."
