Juventus midfielder Miralem Pjanic has insisted that his team face a battle to lift a sixth consecutive league title.

The Old Lady have lifted the Serie A crown in each of the last five seasons and currently lead the way in Italy's top flight - sitting on 18 points at the top of the table, four clear of second-placed Napoli.

Pjanic is confident that Juve will triumph once again this season, but the summer signing from Roma is expecting a tough challenge from a number of clubs.

"The most consistent team will win the Scudetto. We have a huge desire to bring home the sixth title in a row. But we all know it will not be easy," Pjanic told La Gazzetta dello Sport.

"We cannot afford to let up. But our goal is to win it. The competition is long and hard. Everybody cannot wait to see Juventus stop winning. It will not be easy for us. There are a number of teams that will be challenging us right until the end. Roma and Napoli will definitely be there, but I am also keeping an eye on Inter, who have a lot of great players.

"The team is playing well. We sit top of the table in Serie A and in the Champions League. So we are on the right path. Even if there is always room for improvement."

Juventus have won six of their seven league games this season, with their only defeat coming away to Inter Milan on September 18.
