Gianluca Pegolo earned a second successive call-up at No.1, with his performance between the posts earning Siena a point from their crucial relegation clash with Genoa.
Juventus gained revenge for their previous defeat to Inter in the afternoon's big clash, and Andrea Barzagli led them with great authority at the back. Luca Rossettini is chosen alongside him after impressing in the Cagliari side which saw off fourth-placed Fiorentina, and Davide Astori adds a second Rossoblu name to the defensive line.
The ever-impressive Andrea Pirlo was on form again in Juve's 2-1 win at San Siro, while his Italy team-mate Riccardo Montolivo was Milan's matchwinner at Chievo. Josip Ilicic led Palermo to a surprise win over Roma which gives them hope of surviving the drop, but the star of the round was Blerim Dzemaili, who hit a hat-trick in Napoli's all-action 5-3 win at Torino.
Fabio Quagliarella's blockbusting third-minute goal teed up Juve's key win, while two-goal Mauricio Pinilla ensured Cagliari accounted for Fiorentina. Finally, Edinson Cavani came off the bench to hit the two goals which saw Napoli eventually see off Torino in the weekend's stand-out game.
