Tottenham host Wolverhampton Wanderers in what should be a routine home victory for Spurs against the league’s basement club. Tottenham sits in 3rd position with 10 points, while Wolves remain rooted to the bottom of the table with zero points from their opening five matches. This match is the perfect opportunity for Thomas Frank’s Tottenham to bounce back from their disappointing 2-2 draw with Brighton and get back to winning.

Players to Watch
Tottenham Hotspur
 |  |  |
| Xavi Simons | Richarlison | Mohammed Kudus |
- Xavi Simons: The Dutch midfielder has been impressive and will be key to creating chances from midfield.
- Richarlison: The Brazilian striker needs to find consistency and could thrive against Wolves’ weak defense.
- Mohammed Kudus: His pace and creativity on the wing could cause problems for Wolves’ defensive setup.
Wolverhampton Wanderers
 |  |  |
| Toti Arokodare | João Gomes | José Sá |
- Toti Arokodare: The striker will need to be important with limited chances and provide a physical presence upfront.
- João Gomes: The midfielder’s work rate and pressing could disrupt Tottenham’s rhythm in midfield.
- José Sá: The goalkeeper will likely be busy and his performance could determine the margin of defeat.
Predicted Lineups
- Tottenham: Vicario, Porro, Romero, van de Ven, Udogie, Bergvall, Palhinha, Sarr, Kudus, Richarlison, Simons
- Wolverhampton: Sá, Agbadou, Krejčí, Gomes, Tchatchoua, Gomes, André, Bueno, Bellegarde, Larsen, Arokodare
Expected Formations
- Tottenham (4-3-3): Thomas Frank will likely deploy an attacking formation to take advantage of Wolves’ defensive weaknesses, using width and pace to stretch their backline.
- Wolverhampton (3-4-2-1): Vitor Pereira may set up defensively with wing-backs to provide width while trying to stay compact centrally to limit Tottenham’s attacking threats.
Tactical Insights
Tottenham will look to dominate possession and create chances through their attacking midfielders and wingers. Their full-backs pushing forward could create overloads in wide areas.
Wolves will need to stay organized defensively and look for counter-attacking opportunities. Their main challenge will be keeping the scoreline respectable while trying to create rare chances on the break.
The key battle will be whether Wolves can stay compact enough to frustrate Tottenham’s attacking players and avoid the heavy defeat their poor form suggests is likely.
Win Prediction
Despite Wolves’ surprisingly good recent record against Tottenham, their current form is disappointing. Zero points from five games, poor defensive record, and lack of goals suggests they’re in serious trouble.
Tottenham, while inconsistent, has shown they can score goals and should have too much quality for the league’s worst team. Playing at home against such poor opposition should provide the perfect opportunity for Spurs to get back on track.
The historical head-to-head record is interesting, but current form and quality difference makes this prediction straightforward.
- Prediction: Tottenham Hotspur 3-1 Wolverhampton Wanderers
While Wolves have historically done well against Spurs, their current dire form suggests they’ll find it very difficult to avoid another defeat.
