"It is impressive to have got 15 goals already and for us to be so high up in
the table. We are lapping up this moment and trying to ensure that it lasts as
long as possible," said Toni.
Despite their great form, Fiorentina are refusing to address their status as
possible title contenders.
"There is too long to go to start making any considerations of that kind. We
are in good form, enjoying our success and focused on the game at Roma," Danish
midfielder Martin Jorgensen said.
Juventus will expect to pick up three points at home to lowly Treviso.
Capello may be tempted to rest some first team regulars after they booked a
place in the knockout stage of the Champions League with Tuesday's win over Club
Bruges.
Milan also had a good result in Europe with a 4-0 victory at Turkey's
Fenerbahce, all four goals coming from Ukrainian striker Andriy Shevchenko.
After the loss at Fiorentina coach Carlo Ancelotti is likely to field a
strong side against Lecce at the San Siro on Saturday.
Lyon set sights on French winning streak record
PARIS, Nov 25 (Reuters) - Runaway leaders Olympique Lyon will be out to match
a record eighth successive victory in the French top league when they travel to
Nice on Saturday.
The record was set by Nantes in the 1982/83 season and equalled by the
2000/2001 Nantes team and Paris St Germain last season.
The four-times champions, who have opened a 12-point lead over second-placed
PSG, have 39 points from 15 games.
Gerard Houllier's side will be boosted by their 1-1 draw against Real Madrid
at the Bernabeu in their Champions League clash on Wednesday to remain unbeaten.
