Wolves vs Tottenham Preview: How to Watch on TV, Live Stream, Kick Off Time & Team News

Tottenham are back in Premier League action on Sunday when they travel to the West Midlands to take on Wolves at Molineux.

Spurs have suffered a dip in their league form, picking up just one point from their last three games and dropping down to sixth, but secured a semi final spot in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday by beating Stoke.

Wolves have been disappointingly inconsistent so far this campaign, currently sitting in 11th. They've beaten Arsenal and Chelsea but lost to Burnley last time out.

Team News

Wolves boss Nuno Espirito Santo has admitted his squad is 'not in a good moment' with regard to injuries.

Raul Jimenez is recovering from a fractured skull and no potential return date has been suggested, while wing-back Jonny is also out. Leander Dendoncker is doubtful.

Fabio Silva came off the bench to score in the 2-1 loss to Burnley and could be rewarded with a start, while Willy Boly could come in for Max Kilman.

Tottenham have Erik Lamela available again. The Argentina international came off the bench to feature during the victory at Stoke.

Japhet Tanganga is absent and Giovani Lo Celso isn't likely to feature after being subbed off in the loss to Leicester. Gareth Bale scored at Stoke but came off with a calf problem and more than likely won't be risked. Otherwise, Jose Mourinho will likely stick to his regular Premier League XI.


Predicted Lineups

Wolves: Patricio; Boly, Coady, Saiss; Semedo, Neves, Moutinho, Ait-Nouri; Podence; Neto, Silva.

Tottenham: Lloris; Aurier, Alderweireld, Dier, Reguilon; Sissoko, Hojbjerg; Bergwijn, Ndombele, Son; Kane.


Recent Form

Wolves' form has been somewhat mercurial in recent weeks. They were pretty poor in the 2-1 defeat to Burnley, having just beaten title hopefuls Chelsea six days prior.

Prediction

This isn't going to be a particularly enthralling match. Both sides are struggling for form but each need three points to address their less than desirable league positions.

Wolves have shown they can more than match the top six sides of the Premier League and, with the visitors struggling in the league in recent weeks, will back themselves to pick up a point.

Prediction: Wolves 1-1 Tottenham
