Udinese forward Antonio Di Natale has called on his team-mates not to get carried away by their lofty position in the Serie A standings ahead of this weekend’s clash with Chievo.

The Bianconeri are showing no sign of slowing down and last weekend's 1-0 triumph over Inter lifted the Friuli outfit level on 23 points with second-placed Milan.

The Udinese captain is happy with the club’s performances against the bigger clubs and also believes Milan’s European commitments could hinder their title chances.

“For us, the word scudetto is huge. We are doing a great job in the league against the top teams and we can finish high up in the standings. But we must keep our feet firmly on the ground,' Di Natale told reporters.

“I see Juventus as favourites to win the scudetto more than Milan because they are not playing in European competition. But Milan is always a top team,”he added.

Coppa Italia − Last 16

Juventus 2
Giaccherini 90; Marchisio 102;
