Juventus and Napoli played out a goalless draw on Saturday as two teams tipped to challenge for the Serie A title cancelled each other out on Antonio Conte's return to his old stomping ground.

A fiercely contested, but far from exciting contest at the Allianz Stadium in Turin ended with Juventus maintaining their unbeaten start to life under Thiago Motta.

Juve are yet to concede in Serie A this season but their third consecutive league stalemate denied them top spot, currently held by local rivals Torino following their 3-2 win at Verona on Friday.

Torino are a point ahead of Udinese, who are at Roma on Sunday afternoon, and third-placed Napoli, while Juve are a further point back in fourth.
