Spursvs.Roma

The elegant attacker played just three minutes off the bench in the 1-0 defeat to Napoli at the weekend, after missing the previous outing against Bologna, and the international break with Argentina.

When on the field, Dybala has been magical for the Giallorossi, contributing to 53 goals in just over two years at the club, but he is not on it enough, starting just seven of Roma's 17 games so far this season.

Dybala also has history with Spurs, as he was the man who scored the winning goal at Wembley when Juventus knocked them out of the Champions League in 2018 - the only previous time they have lost at home to an Italian club in UEFA competition.

The Argentine is one of a number of players who could start behind Artem Dovbyk in attack, with Lorenzo Pellegrini and Matias Soule also in contention to start.

New manager Claudio Ranieri only made one change for his first game in charge, replacing Soule with Pellegrini, but there were big changes tactically, as he has reverted to a 4-4-2 system, binning Juric's 3-4-3 approach.

Nicola Zalewski, Tommaso Baldanzi and Enzo Le Fee have all seen their game time greatly reduced recently, so will hope that the new manager will give them an opportunity to prove themselves here.

Mats Hummels is another player who could return to the fold, because he was not seen for a month after scoring an own goal and conceding five against Fiorentina, but looked much more competent as a second-half substitute against Napoli on Sunday.

Mario Hermoso could also return in defence soon, with Alexis Saelemaekers making good progress in his recovery from an ankle injury too, but Eldor Shomurodov will not be available until next month.

Roma possible starting lineup:

Svilar; Celik, Mancini, Hummels, Angelino; Soule, Baldanzi, Cristante, Zalewski; Dybala, Dovbyk
