The Ultimate Guide To How Each Serie A Team Will Line Up In 2010-11

Goal.com's Kris Voakes looks at what the 20 Italian top flight sides will bring to the table in 2010-11.

By Kris Voakes

It is an amazing statistic that only two Serie A coaches were preparing exactly the same club for a top flight campaign at this time last year. With just Giampiero Ventura of Bari and Genoa's Gian Piero Gasperini still in the same hotseat, there will be some new approaches on show around the peninsula this year.

Gasperini's side will take on a very new look after a summer of almost constant change at the Marassi, while promoted Brescia, Lecce and Cesena have all brought in a mix of new talent and old heads as they look to make themselves Serie A fixtures.

There will be great intrigue too at the top of the table, where Inter, Milan and Roma have made neglible changes at the front end of their squad so far, yet Juventus have again gone about changing their starting XI.

Below, we break down how each one of Serie A's clubs are likely to line up when their full squad is available, along with a star rating out of five for each department of the first XI.
