Fresh off the back of our astonishing 4-0 win over Manchester City at the weekend, we welcome a Roma side in disarray to North London in the Europa League on Thursday. This will mark a return to the British Isles for new Roma boss Ranieri, whose stint in charge of Leicester City saw them pip us to the title in 2016.
It is almost certain that no team will record a more remarkable scoreline across Europe this season than our' 4-0 thrashing over Man City on Saturday - Pep's worst home defeat of his managerial career.
We are now comfortably the top scorers in the Premier League, and only Liverpool and Man City have conceded fewer, but with just three clean sheets in the league, that suggests why we have dropped so many points. We are still down in sixth, three points off the top four, with too many disappointing recent results restricting us from moving further up the standings.
The international break came at the perfect time, because our two performances prior to it were woeful, handing Ipswich Town their first Premier League win in over 20 years, and being very lucky to leave Istanbul with a 3-2 loss against a Galatasaray side that could have scored seven or eight.
That result ended our 100% record in Europe, and saw us drop to seventh, but we will fancy our chances of moving back up the standings here, considering we have won seven in a row at home in the Europa League without conceding - scoring 19.
This will be our first ever meeting with Roma, and we will hope that we can continue our fine record at home to Italian clubs, because we have only lost once in 10 previous meetings.The Europa League has not provided many fruitful results against clubs from Italy for us though, winning just two of our last eight, and Roma will hope they can extend that underwhelming run, while also arresting a woeful stretch of results of their own.

Team News
Our defensive options were decimated even further in the week, when it was revealed Vicario had undergone surgery on a broken ankle, sidelining him for the foreseeable future.
We are already without their two first-choice centre-backs Romero and van de Ven, so Dragusin and Davies are set to start again after impressing against Man City.
Will Lankshear and Mikey Moore have been handed opportunities in Europe so far, but neither will feature, with Lankshear suspended following his red card against Galatasaray and Moore currently wiped out with a virus.
Bentancur will almost certainly start to ensure he maintains his match fitness, as his seven-game ban is only for domestic fixtures.
