Tottenham will hope to ride the momentum that comes from the rare feeling of thrashing Pep Guardiola's Manchester City 4-0 at their own stadium into their UEFA Europa League showdown at home to Serie A outfit Roma tonight.
Ange Postecoglou's side have had a rollercoaster 2024/25 so far, with the definitive win over City undoubtedly the biggest high to date.
And should they emerge victorious at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, over a Roma side now managed by former Premier League winner Claudio Ranieri, it could serve as a season-defining week for the Lilywhites.
Spurs sit seventh in the Europa League table heading into the fifth match week, having won three of their four games. The Italian side, meanwhile, are down in 20th having only picked up one European win this campaign.

Tottenham vs. Roma lineups, starting 11, team news
Tottenham's Italian goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario is likely out for the remainder of 2024/25 with a fractured ankle, which he bravely played through for over an hour in the win at City. Fraser Forster steps in between the sticks as his replacement.
Micky van de Ven and Richarlison's hamstring issues will likely keep them on the sidelines until mid-December, while Wilson Odobert's similar injury keeps him out of action for a while longer than that following surgery.
Cristian Romero is not risked in this game, despite returning to training, with Postecoglou looking to protect the Argentina international.
