Bookmaker:
Hoping to extend on their Champions League charge on Saturday afternoon, Tottenham will welcome Wolves to north London.
Tottenham
Starting with the hosts, mounting a dramatic last-gasp comeback at home against Brighton last weekend, Tottenham have continued to receive a string of plaudits this season. Clearly enjoying life under Ange Postecoglou, Spurs now have their sights firmly set on booking a lucrative Champions League return in 2024. With the mood around north London at a red-hot high, the former Celtic boss will be calling on his squad to make another statement of intent here. Eventually snatching a 2-1 victory against Brighton last week, Tottenham have found a route back into the top-four and they have gained a reputation or their extended success on home soil. Despite crashing out of the FA Cup last month following a close-fought 1-0 defeat at the hands of Manchester City, Spurs have won all of their other six domestic showdowns in north London a run that stems all the way back to December 7th.
Team News
Both still dealing with respective long-term injury issues, Tottenham will once again be without the duo of Manor Solomon and Ryan Sessegnon on Saturday afternoon. Returning from this month’s Asia Cup, attacking talisman Heung-Min Son will make a first Premier League start since New Year’s Eve here.
Coming off the bench and grabbing a dramatic last-gasp winner against Brighton last weekend, Brennan Johnson could be handed a full recall. Former Chelsea star Timo Werner could be handed a rest in north London at the expense of Johnson.
Wolves
As for the visitors, although Wolves might have received plenty of praise following their stellar rise under Gary O’Neil, the Midlands-based outfit are seeking some recent stability. Although the former Bournemouth boss might have seen his squad claim a stunning 4-2 romp away at Chelsea on February 4th, they did come crashing back down to earth last week. Missing out on what they had billed as a golden opportunity as they fell to a 2-0 loss at home against Brentford, Saturday’s guests have won just a pair of their previous seven showdowns within 90 minutes. However, still with their sights set on securing a top-half finish in 2024, Wolves will be excited by their reverse meeting against Spurs. Landing a 2-1 victory when they welcomed Tottenham to Molineux back on November 11th, O’Neil’s side will be desperate to spring another heavyweight upset when they travel to north London this weekend.
Team News
Both returning from their respective international duties over the past month, Wolves the duo of Hee-Chan Hwang and Boubacar Traore could make their first starts of 2024. Ahead of their trip to north London on Saturday evening, O’Neil’s side have reported a clean bill of health.
Although there might be continued speculation over a potential move away from Molineux this summer, attacking talisman Pedro Neto will have a leading role to play here. Bagging a hat-trick against Chelsea on February 4th, ex-Atletico Madrid star Matheus Cunha will partner Neto in the final third.
