BATTLE OF THE STRIKERS
Juventus has reinforced its attack significantly with the arrival of Carlos Tevez from Manchester City and the signing of Fernando Llorente from Athletic Bilbao. If Antonio Conte's team has had any weaknesses in previous years it has been up front, with the lack of a world-class striker. At AC Milan, Mario Balotelli and Stephan El Shaarawy are used to playing together for club and country.
Balotelli has excelled since returning to Italy from Manchester City in January and scored 12 goals in 13 games for AC Milan.
