Having reached the half-way point of the Serie A season, Dave Taylor goes 4-3-3 with his best XI of the campaign to date.

Andrea Consigli [Atalanta]

Mattia De Sciglio [Milan]

Andrea Ranocchia [Inter]

Giorgio Chiellini [Juventus]

Kwadwo Asamoah [Juventus]

In the short time he has played for Juve, the Ghanaian’s thrilling runs down the left have already started to become part of the club’s folklore. Despite principally being a central midfielder, he has added an extra dimension to the way the team attack this season, exemplified by his five assists. Asa is also no slouch at scoring and showed it with a dazzling overhead kick against Pescara. Cabrini-like.

Arturo Vidal [Juventus]

Andrea Pirlo [Juventus]

Marek Hamsik [Napoli]

Francesco Totti [Roma]

Edinson Cavani [Napoli]

Stephan El Shaarawy [Milan]

Coach: Vincenzo Montella [Fiorentina]
