Tottenham face a tricky test against a resurgent Wolves after their latest setback against Nottingham Forest. Ange Postecoglou's side has shown flashes of brilliance this season but continues to drop points in games they’re expected to dominate.
Wolves, under new manager Vitor Pereira, have found fresh momentum with back-to-back wins, including a confident 2-0 Boxing Day triumph over Manchester United. Sitting just above the relegation zone, they’re eager to continue climbing.
For Spurs, a win is non-negotiable to ease mounting pressure on Postecoglou. However, Wolves’ newfound grit makes them dangerous prey, especially against a Tottenham side struggling for consistency.

Tottenham vs. Wolves lineups, team news
Defence remains the biggest concern for Spurs, with long-standing absentees Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven and Ben Davies set to potentially be joined by Radu Dragusin. The centre-back was forced off during the Boxing Day loss to Forest with an ankle issue, with Postecoglou admitting "we'll have to wait and see" if he will be able to feature at home to Wolves.
First-choice goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario remains out for some time to come with an ankle injury of his own, furthering the London side's frailties at the back. Djed Spence's suspension for a second booking in Nottingham means there is one more for Postecoglou to have to cope without at the weekend.
Elsewhere in the lineup, Richarlison, Mikey Moore and Wilson Odobert remain sidelined until 2025.
Tottenham predicted XI (4-2-3-1, right to left): Forster (GK) — Porro, Bissouma, Gray, Udogie — Bentancur, Sarr — Kulusevski, Maddison, Son — Solanke.
Injured: Vicario (ankle), Romero, Van de Ven, Davies (all thigh), Dragusin (ankle), Richarlison, Odobert (thigh), Moore (illness)
Suspended: Spence (red card)
Wolves have multiple long-term injuries in Pablo Sarabia, Boubacar Traore, Sasa Kalajdzic, Yerson Mosquera and Enso Gonzalez.
Mario Lemina, meanwhile, couldn't return from a calf injury in time for the galvanising win over Man United and remains uncertain for the trip to North London.
Wolves predicted XI (3-4-3 right to left): Sa (GK) — Doherty, Bueno, T. Gomes — Semedo, Andre, J. Gomes, Ait Nouri — Guedes, Cunha, Hwang
Injured: Sarabia (calf), Lamina (calf), Traore (knee), Kalajdzic (knee), Mosquera (knee), Gonzalez (knee)
Suspended: None
Tottenham vs. Wolves prediction
There are much evidence to show that Spurs have not been consistent at all. The loss to Forest in the last game was the punch to the gut.
They must redeem themselves but it's not looking much more than a draw against a resurgent Wolves side.
Prediction: Tottenham 2-2 Wolves
