Inter Milan confident ahead of Juventus clash

ROME, Nov 3 (AFP): Inter Milan coach Roberto Mancini has been boasting about the strength in depth of his squad ahead of this weekend's crucial trip to Juventus.
The reigning Serie A and Serie B champions go head-to-head for the first time since Juve earned promotion back to the top flight last season.
But despite the impressive start to their campaign, Juve will have their work cut out in matching Inter, the league pacesetters who have a four-point lead over their hosts.
And Mancini believes his side are by far and away the best in the league, especially given the mass exodus of top quality players from Juve - including Inter's Sweden forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic and France midfielder Patrick Vieira - before they began last season in Serie B.
"Juventus had to reconstruct their team a little bit and all the other big clubs have champions they can field," said Mancini.
"We have five very talented strikers and in defence a few more players than the other Serie A sides. We have a great squad."
