Tottenham are heavy favourites going into the weekend and look set to add insult to injury on Wolves’ dreadful start.
Thomas Frank praised his players after a 3-0 victory over Doncaster Rovers in the Carabao Cup in midweek, as the Tottenham faithful continue to warm to their new gaffer.
Richarlison has impressed for Tottenham so far this season and has played a major role in Spurs’ climb to third, albeit only five games into the campaign.
Wolves, on the other hand, are rock bottom without a point to their name and not many are backing their away trip to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium to change that.
Jeff Stelling makes Spurs vs Wolves score prediction
Wolves aren’t being given a chance by Jeff Stelling, who is convinced he knows the outcome of this Saturday evening fixture.

In a social media clip on talkSPORT’s X page, Stelling predicted a 2-0 Tottenham victory and said: “I can only see a home win and more misery for Wolves.”
Three points for the Lilywhites would move the side above North London rivals Arsenal and into second place.
Tottenham are at the centre of a takeover bid, but this is all off-pitch business that is unlikely to affect the on-pitch performances.
Harry Kane has been linked with a move back to Spurs, which may push Richarlison to the next level as he continues his positive start to the season.
Xavi Simons to open his Spurs account
There are no easy games in the Premier League, but Wolves at home could be a chance for summer signing Xavi Simons to get his first Tottenham goal.
The Dutchman impressed in his half-hour cameo against Brighton, and Simons should’ve scored but missed a good chance.
Xavi Simons vs Brighton:
He has started to get on the ball in more central areas, where he can do his best work and where he impressed so much at RB Leipzig and PSV beforehand.
Wolves have a very combative midfield, but as the game progresses, Spurs will pin back the away side’s back five, and pockets of space will start to open up for Simons to do some damage.
