AS Roma captain Francesco Totti insists they can upset Juventus tonight.

Juve are nine points clear of Roma at the Serie A summit.

"On Monday we face Juve, a game we've been waiting for a long time," wrote Totti in the Corriere dello Sport.

"Until a few days ago it seemed as if there was no hope for us in this match. Instead we're convinced that we can challenge and give meaning to this title race, to re-open a matter that had seemed closed.

"These last few weeks have not been easy and we were upset to have disappointed our fans, but I am confident. I think the worst is behind us.

"We have a very united squad and Roma are ready to do their bit."
