However, Tottenham appear revitalised under new head coach Thomas Frank, who is methodically rebuilding the squad in line with his tactical philosophy. Under former manager Ange Postecoglou, Tottenham finished 17th last season, one position below Wolves in the Premier League standings.

Since the arrival of Frank, Tottenham have shown structure, improved discipline and a more defined identity, particularly in midfield. Meanwhile, Wolves manager Vitor Pereira continues to have the backing of his board, receiving a three-year contract extension despite their worst possible start to the season.

All signs point to an intriguing contest between two teams with contrasting momentum. Sharp football punters may find this the perfect fixture to cash in, taking advantage of the chaos with lucrative betting options on offer.

Tottenham Current Form – LDWWL

Prior to his UEFA Champions League debut, earning a 1-0 victory over Villarreal in London, Tottenham were flying in the Premier League under the tutelage of manager Thomas Frank.

The Lilywhites claimed maximum points against Burnley (3-0), before toppling Manchester City (0-2), against the odds away at the Etihad Stadium, thanks to goals by Brennan Johnson and Joao Palhinha, taking advantage of goalkeeper James Trafford’s misplaced pass.

In their next Premier League outing, Frank tasted his first defeat as Tottenham manager, going down 1-0 to Bournemouth. Evanilson made a brilliantly timed run into the box, showcasing his cool finishing, becoming the first player to unlock Spurs’ defence this season.

During a hard-fought London derby against West Ham United, Tottenham struggled to break down the Hammers in the first half. Coming to the forefront in the second half with goals by Pape Matar Sarr, Lucas Bergvall and Micky van de Ven, leaving the London Stadium with maximum points.

Last weekend, Tottenham were pinned back for the first time this season after going down 2-0 against Brighton in the first 30 minutes. Spurs showed character to pull themselves back into the contest with two goals of their own, although it wasn’t enough at the final whistle.
Tottenham had to settle for a share of the spoils following a dominant second-half showing away at the Amex Stadium. Despite setbacks, Tottenham’s character and attacking promise remain evident; a strong response against an out-of-sorts Wolves could reignite their top-four ambitions.

KEY PLAYERS TO WATCH

Richarlison: The Brazilian striker scored a brace during Burnley’s visit, highlighted by an unforgettable acrobatic strike, adding another goal to his tally against Brighton last weekend. Richarlison missed the first clash with Wolves due to a hamstring injury last season, coming off the bench for 15 minutes to score at the Molineux Stadium.
Mohammed Kudus: The 25-year-old winger has been immense since his arrival, with four assists in five Premier League matches. Kudus, along with Richarlison and Brennan Johnson, presses opposition defences relentlessly in front of Spurs’ hard-working midfield engine. His consistent dribbling along the flank draws in defenders, freeing space for overlapping right back Pedro Porro.
Xavi Simons: The 22-year-old is a technically gifted, versatile attacking midfielder known for his vision, close control and ability to operate between the lines. Shining on his debut against West Ham, Simons seems like a brilliant signing that was much needed. Tottenham have enough steel in midfield. Simons, along with Bergvall, adds the ability to unlock opposition defences.

Tottenham Team News

When prompted about Wilson Odobert’s performance against Brighton, Frank proudly claimed, “Happy with it, I must admit. I thought he looked lively. Clearly, it looked like they were a little bit afraid of him. So he got time to turn and run forward. I think he produced some crosses, some good opportunities. He was also involved in a goal and worked hard. So, a good first start.”

Radu Dragusin, James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski are long-term absentees, sidelined with ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament) injuries. Kulusevski is set to make his return by January, with Dragusin and Maddison expected to take a little longer.

Wolves Current Form – LLLLW

Midway through last season, Wolves found themselves languishing in the relegation zone, tallying a mere 12 points after 17 matches, which forced newly-appointed Sports Director Domenico Teti to make his first crucial decision by replacing manager Gary O'Neil with Vitor Pereira.
Upon arrival, Pereira claimed a 3-0 win away at Leicester City and a 2-0 victory over Manchester United at the Molineux Stadium to catapult Wolves out of the relegation zone.

Eventually collecting 30 points from 21 games at the helm to finish above Tottenham on the 2024/25 Premier League standings. Despite the worst possible start to the current campaign, the team has been unable to collect a single point in the Premier League following five straight defeats.
Wolves have shown faith in manager Pereira, declaring a new three-year contract extension with Chairman Jeff Shi asserting, "Now is a time for stability. Vitor needs time to work with the squad, to build chemistry with new players, and we will do everything to support him and his staff."
Wolves endured a four-match winless spell during pre-season games against Stoke City (1-1), Lens (1-3), Girona (2-1), and Celta Vigo (0-1). Officially beginning their Premier League season with a loss at home to title-challenging Manchester City (0-4).

A more convincing performance against Bournemouth (1-0), carelessly conceding to Marcus Tavernier within the first five minutes, Wolves found themselves on the back foot from the onset.

Five minutes into the second half, defender Toti Gomes was shown a red card, compounding problems, leading to Wolves leaving the Vitality Stadium empty-handed.

Wolves came from behind to earn a 3-2 victory over West Ham United in the EFL Cup, courtesy of striker Jorgen Strand Larsen scoring twice in the final 10 minutes.

However, three consecutive Premier League defeats to Everton (2-3), Newcastle United (1-0), and Leeds United (1-3) need to be urgently addressed.

Wolves could go winless in eight matches, seeing as Arsenal and Manchester United are on the horizon following this clash with Tottenham.

Key Players to Watch

Tolu Arokodare: The new focal point in attack stands at 1,97m tall. Arokodare has made two starts against Newcastle United and Leeds United after signing from Belgian club Genk.
He collected six assists and 17 goals in 30 league games last season, largely due to his impressive aerial prowess and being surprisingly quick for his size. Arokodare will be a handful against Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero during set-pieces.
Fer Lopez: The 21-year-old Spanish attacking midfielder claimed his first assist in the Premier League, setting up Ladislav Krejci for the opening goal against Leeds United last weekend.
Hailing from Celta Vigo’s academy, Lopez uses his physical presence at 1.88m tall, combined with vision, usually cutting onto his left foot from the right flank, attempting to unlock defences.
Ladislav Krejci: The 26-year-old is a towering figure at 1,91m tall. The industrious midfielder spent last season on loan at Girona in the Spanish La Liga, making 28 appearances and scoring twice.
In his first Premier League start against Leeds United, Krejci made a fantastic late run into the box to calmly score with a beautiful first-touch finish, handing Wolves the lead.

Wolves Team News

Jorgen Strand Larsen has been primarily used as an impact substitute this season, although manager Vitor Pereira may be tempted to start the Norwegian striker. Larsen scored against Tottenham at the Molineux Stadium and the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium last season.
After impressing at the FIFA Club World Cup, winger Jhon Arias joined Wolves from Brazilian club Fluminense. Renowned for his pace and ability to swing in dangerous crosses into the box, Arias could prove vital, seeing as manager Pereira has rebuilt his forward line with towering figures in hopes of dominating aerial duels.
Right wing-back Ki-Jana Hoever has missed the first five games with a knee injury, a key player on the sidelines for Wolves following the departure of Nelson Semedo.

Predicted Line-Up

Tottenham: 4-3-3
Vicario; Porro, Romero, van de Ven, Udogie; Bergvall, Palhinha, Bentacur; Kudus, Richarlison, Simons.
Wolves: 3-4-2-1
Jose Sa; Agbadou, Mosquera, Toti Gomes; Tchatchoua, Krejci, Joao Gomes, Rodrigo Gomes; Lopez, Bellegarde; Arokodare.

PREDICTION: TOTTENHAM TO WIN

Tottenham are trailing Liverpool and Arsenal at the top of the Premier League standings, while Wolves remain rooted to the foot of the table after suffering five straight defeats. It will take a footballing miracle for Wolves to upset the applecart against one of the in-form teams in the Premier League, although recent meetings between these opponents indicate that Wolves are indeed Spurs’ hoodoo team.
With that said, Tottenham have shown clear tactical discipline, improved resilience and a sharper attacking edge under the guidance of Thomas Frank. With his players hitting form and Wolves lacking confidence, this seems like the perfect moment for Tottenham to finally put that poor record to bed.
