Yahoo Sports Tottenham vs Roma: Prediction, team news, line-ups, start time, live, TV, head to head, odds - friendly preview
Tottenham continue their pre-season preparations against Roma in New Jersey on Tuesday evening.
A 4-2 win over Paris Saint-Germain, featuring two thumping strikes from Christian Eriksen and Toby Alderweireld kicked off their International Champions Cup exploits in style amid concerns over a lack of transfer activity.
Mauricio Pochettino insists he is happy with his squad, though remains open to strengthening, and will have been happy with his players' performance against the Ligue 1 giants.
Roma lost to PSG on penalties last week, after a 1-1 draw in normal time, as Eusbio Di Francesco continues to assess his squad after replacing Luciano Spalletti in June.

TEAM NEWS
Mauricio Pochettino named a mixture of youth and experience against PSG, with Hugo Lloris, Jan Vertonghen, Ben Davies, Eric Dier, Mousa Dembele, Christian Eriksen and Vincent Janssen all starting, meaning Harry Kane and Dele Alli will likely come in from the start along with Kieran Trippier and Toby Alderweireld.
Harry Winks came on in the second half in Orlando for his first appearance since suffering ankle ligament damage in April and could also be named in the starting line-up.
Di Francesco has a fully fit squad to work with bar Stephan El Shaarawy who is struggling with a "minor back problem" sustained at the beginning of the tour.
