U21 preview | Wolves vs Tottenham

Wolves under-21s host Tottenham Hotspur at New Bucks Head on Saturday morning in PL2.

Please note, due to Premier League broadcasting restrictions, Saturday’s Premier League 2 Division 1 fixture with Tottenham Hotspur will not be live streamed.

Ian Sharps will once again be on the touchline in the absence of head coach James Collins, who remains on first team duty alongside Steve Davis. Sharps will be assisted by Sean Parrish and head of coach development Mike Scott.

Last weekend’s 5-0 defeat at Liverpool is one the youngsters will be looking to get out of their system against Spurs, as the old gold seek a third PL2 victory of the campaign.

Wolves are winless in the competition in five games, while visitors Tottenham are still awaiting their first three points after being forced to share the spoils with north London rivals Arsenal last time out.

Spurs currently sit second bottom of PL2, having recorded four draws from their opening eight fixtures. Meanwhile, Wolves are two places and four points above Saturday’s opponents and could move to as high as eighth with a win.

The 21s have three games in the space of a week, with a trip to Port Vale in the Papa John’s Trophy on Tuesday evening followed by a journey to face Manchester United next Saturday.
