Rodrigo Bentancourt’s ban valid for domestic matches only, among others:

Isn’t it wonderful remember those pre-Brexit days when Ranieri led Leicester to the Premier League title?

But that was then, this is now, and all that.

Will Unwin has Manchester United vs Bodio/Glimt right here:

Preamble

Ange Postecoglou said it was “a really key part of the season“. He was speaking before his Tottenham players opened an industrial-sized can Manchester City at the Etihad last Saturdayso hats off to him, the initial point was positive.

But Spurs still have eight games to play before Christmas, starting with Roma tonight and such an overloaded spell will provide a stern test for Project Postecoglou and Ange-ball. For every 4-0 defeat of the Premier League champions, there seems to be a shock defeat at the hands of Crystal Palace or Ipswich, so the jury remains out on Tottenham’s long-term prospects under the Greek-Australian.

Whatever happens tonight, however, should be entertaining as Claudio Ranieri is back in charge of Roma for the third time in his career. The 73-year-old’s first game as caretaker manager was a 1-0 loss at Napoli last Sunday. Can the wily old fox ruin Ange’s holiday plans? We’re about to find out.

Start: 20:00 Great Britain
