Tottenham boss Antonio Conte is looking forward to seeing Jose Mourinho today ahead of their friendly against Roma in Israel.

Conte's Spurs side take on Mourinho's Roma in Israel on Saturday in what will be their final pre-season game ahead of the Premier League kicking off next weekend.

Despite their rivalry, Conte believes that their common target of trying to drag their respective sides into fights for domestic titles will unite them though and claimed they will hug in a sign of respect before kick off.

"We have a mutual respect and our histories in football speak for us. Now everything is good and tomorrow for sure there will be a hug between us," Conte said in his press conference.

"I think I'm seeing a similar situation between Roma and Tottenham because both clubs want to build, to go step by step to fight against a team that in the past dominated in Italy, Juventus and also one season Inter, Milan.

"For us City, Liverpool, Chelsea, United. It's a good comparison because we have the same target."
