Europa League: Tottenham vs Roma – Probable line-ups and where to watch | OneFootball

Paulo Dybala is expected to be included in Roma’s starting XI for the first time under Claudio Ranieri in his side’s visit to Tottenham in the Europa League on Thursday evening.

It kicks off at 21:00 CET (20:00 GMT) at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London.

After switching to a back three in the second half of his side’s match at Napoli last weekend, Sky Sport Italia believes coach Ranieri will confirm such a set-up and add wing-backs Zeki Çelik and Angelino to form a five-man defensive line.

Mats Hummels should be deployed at its centre, flanked by Gianluca Mancini and Evan Ndicka.

Manu Koné, Bryan Cristante and Nicolò Pisilli should all be confirmed in the starting line-up, the former and the latter tasked with providing both defensive coverage and support to the attacking duo, which should see Dybala play alongside Giallorossi top scorer Artem Dovbyk.

Defender Mario Hermoso is still out with an injury, but the return of Alexis Saelemaekers to Roma’s squad after more than two months could provide Ranieri with a valuable alternative.

Tottenham will have to do without goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario, who sustained an ankle fracture and will be sidelined for months after undergoing surgery.

Tottenham vs Roma – Probable line-ups

Tottenham (4-2-3-1): Forster; Porro, Dragusin, Davies, Gray; Bergvall, Bentancur; Sarr, Johnson, Solanke; Werner.

Roma (5-3-2): Svilar; Celik, Mancini, Hummels, Ndicka, Angelino; Konè, Cristante, Pisilli; Dybala, Dovbyk
