The Italian outfit have made a great start to the season, although they have recently dropped points in the league.

After managing to stay in the Premier League in an extraordinary fashion, Sunderland would have been hoping to avoid the relegation dogfight this season. The club seemed very determined to improve the squad during the transfer window. Even after several new signings, Sunderland are yet to take victory in this campaign. They have had extremely good results against the likes of Manchester United against whom they managed a 1-1 draw, but Poyet says that it is only through a victory that they can improve their form. Sunderland have lost against fellow relegation rivals QPR in an away match and they sit just a few places about the relegation zone.

Mark Noble is hoping that the new recruitments that have been made by West Ham United recently raise the standard of club’s game in the upcoming season.

Roma manager Rudi Garcia has claimed that the club will be trying to keep midfielder Miralem Pjanic beyond this season. Pjanic has been one of the best players in the Italian Serie A this season. He has been a real star within the Roma team that has managed to fight for the title alongside Juventus for most of the season. It is only after a 4-1 defeat against Hellas Verona that they surrendered the league title to the difference from Turin. Garcia has revolutionised Roma within 12 months of his available in the summer. He is now planning to prepare for next season, which will see the club return to Champions League group stages once again.

Roma manager Rudi Garcia has failed to accept the notion that the title race is effectively over in the Italian Serie A after Juventus opened an 11 point advantage after this weekend’s result.

Meanwhile, Roma could only manage a 0-0 draw with Inter Milan.
