Roma's Garcia paying no attention to table
Roma coach Rudi Garcia insists he is reading little into the current state of the Serie A table.
Garcia's men are level on points with reigning champions Juventus at the summit, sitting second by virtue of their inferior head-to-head record.
Juve ran away with the title last term, ending the campaign with a 17-point advantage at the top.
However, Garcia is predicting a tighter battle for the Scudetto this time around as Roma prepare to travel to Napoli on Saturday.
"We're top and have had a good start to the season," he said. "Everything's there to suggest we can get a good result at Napoli.
"There's a long way to go [in the season] and the table only reflects this moment of the season but it doesn't tell us how it will end.

"I never look at the fixture list as easy or difficult: I'm only focused on Napoli at the moment
