Wolves hope they’ve got momentum building towards the Premier League and Saturday evening’s trip to Tottenham Hotspur will show if that’s the case – here’s everything you need to know.
1 | Roll Call
Vitor Pereira has a full squad available to him for the visit to Tottenham on Saturday night and the head coach admitted in his pre-match press conference that he is welcoming the selection headache which that brings. Pereira has switched his team selection, as well as his formation, up in recent games meaning all members of his squad will believe they have the possibility of starting in north London tomorrow. Having played a four-man defence for the first time in his Wolves tenure in victory over Everton in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday night, it is yet to be seen as to whether the Portuguese will stick with that formula as Wolves go in search of a first Premier League win.
After naming a much-changed side for Spurs' Carabao Cup win over Doncaster Rovers in midweek, Thomas Frank is expected to revert to the players who have been his Premier League regulars when Wolves visit. The likes of Guglielmo Vicario and Cristian Romero were not even named in the matchday squad during the 3-0 won, but can be expected to return on Saturday evening, while Pape Matar Sarr was left out because of injury, although he could be back in time for tomorrow. As could Randal Kolo Muani, Ben Davies and Dominic Solanke who also have a chance of being fit to play, while Radu Dragusin, Dejan Kulusevski and James Maddison remain long-term absentees.

3 | Journey to Saturday
Wolves had that winning feeling in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday evening and now they must carry that momentum into the Premier League. Marshall Munetsi and Tolu Arokodare netted in a 2-0 win over Everton – the Old Gold’s second win in the competition, having beaten West Ham United in August. Life in the Premier League has been much tougher, however, with five defeats from the first five. Away from home the Old Gold have lost 1-0 twice, to Bournemouth and Newcastle United, so it’s been fine margins the difference.
On Wednesday evening Tottenham comfortably manoeuvred past League One side Doncaster Rovers in the Carabao Cup with a 3-0 win. That followed a comeback draw at Brighton & Hove Albion last weekend, where a Jan Paul van Hecke own goal earned them a point. It’s been a promising start to life in north London for Thomas Frank, whose side have taken 10 points from 15 available. Their only defeat did come on home soil against Bournemouth, but they've won impressively at Manchester City and West Ham away from home.

4 | A happy hunting ground
Wolves have won three times at Spurs’ new home – half of their visits there, and in February 2022 Bruno Lage’s side produced an impressive away victory there.
Raul Jimenez scored the winner on Wolves’ first trip to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in 2020 and took just six minutes to give his side the lead on his second trip, punishing some sloppy Spurs defending by firing into the top corner.
The damage was done and dusted by 18 minutes. Again, Spurs were unconvincing clearing their lines and once Daniel Podence’s deflected shot came off the post, Leander Dendoncker tapped in Wolves’ crucial second goal to seal an early win.
Tottenham | Lloris, Doherty (Royal 82), Romero, Sanchez, Sessegnon (Kulusevski 28), Davies, Winks, Bentancur, Moura (Bergwijn 71), Son, Kane.
Wolves | Sa, Semedo, Kilman, Coady, Saiss, Ait-Nouri, Neves, Cundle (Trinaco 84), Dendoncker, Podence (Hwang 81), Jimenez (Silva 86).
