Claudio Ranieri returns to British shores on Thursday evening when his Roma side take on Tottenham in the Europa League.
The veteran Italian returned to Roma for a third spell in charge over the international break as the Giallorossi are now on to their third head coach before Christmas in the 2024/25 campaign.
Sours will likely be in good spirits after they humbled Man City 4-0 at the Etihad on Saturday.
Match Preview
Tottenham Recent Form
It's tough to predict what you'll get from Ange Postecoglou's men in any given game as they are just as capable of beating Man City 4-0 away as they are losing 2-1 at home to Ipswich.
In the Premier League, they have won three and lost three of their last six.
In the Europa League, they have beat Qarabag, Ferencvaros and AZ Alkmaar but last time out they suffered a 3-2 defeat away at Galatasaray.
Tottenham Injury News
Postecoglou is dealing with a bit of a defensive crisis as he is already missing his two first-choice centre-backs Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven and that pair have been joined by goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario, who underwent ankle surgery on Monday.
Will Lankshear and Mikey Moore are unavailable due to suspension and injury respectively.
Rodrigo Bentancur is in the middle of a domestic ban, but is available to play in the Europa League.

Here's how Tottenham lined up against Man City.
Roma Recent Form
Ranieri started his third tenure at Roma off with a loss as his team fell to Napoli 1-0 on Sunday.
The Italian capital club are without a win in four matches across all competitions.
They have recently lost to Hellas Verona, Bologna and Napoli in Serie A and could only manage a draw against Union SG in the Europa League.
In the Europa League, they have won one, drawn two and lost one so far.
Roma Injury News
Eldor Shomurodov is definitely out for Roma, while there are fitness doubts over Paulo Dybala, Mario Hermoso and Alexis Saelemaekers, all of whom are still to fully shake off recent injuries.
Dybala was on the bench at the weekend, however.

Here's how Roma lined up against Napoli.
Tottenham - Player To Watch
James Maddison put in his best performance of the season at the weekend as he scored twice in the 4-0 win at City. Indeed, he recorded a near-perfect 9.8 FC Rating for his performance.
Roma - Player To Watch
No Roma player has played to their best so far this season, but Artem Dovbyk remains their best chance for a goal on the night.
Tottenham vs Roma - Prediction
Roma have a shocking record on English soil as they haven't won in 15 games and have just one win out of 23 in England in their history. They aren't in a good place at the moment, either, so face a really tough task to get anything against Spurs.
