ROME (Reuters) - The best teams in Serie A face off on Monday when AS Roma host Juventus, with the home side hoping they can reverse the 3-2 defeat they suffered against the champions in October to close the gap at the top of the standings.

Prior to their first meeting, Roma coach Rudi Garcia boasted that his team would win the league because "we're better than them", words the French manager must now be regretting as his side have slipped nine points off the pace in recent weeks.
