Tottenham Hotspur won 3-0 against League One side Doncaster Rovers in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday night. Joao Palhinha and Brennan Johnson got themselves on the scoresheet against the Yorkshire club. Jay McGrath also scored an own goal for their opponents.
Spurs drew 2-2 away at Brighton and Hove Albion in their last Premier League outing. They fought back from 2-0 down against the Seagulls to pick up a point at the AMEX Stadium. Next up is a home clash against Wolves this weekend.
Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper and defence
Spurs will bring Guglielmo Vicario back into the team against Wolves. He has played in all five of their league fixtures so far this season. Antonin Kinsky took his place between the sticks in the cup against Doncaster and kept a clean sheet.
Pedro Porro likes to get up and down the right flank of defence. He has been on the books at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium since 2022 and has since made 122 appearances. Destiny Udogie plays a similar role on the left and should replace Djed Spence.
Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven are the most likely centre-back pairing. The latter has had his fair share of injury issues since his move to England and will be eager to keep his fitness up. The duo will be eager to keep Wolves at bay as Thomas Frank’s men go in search of three points.
Tottenham Hotspur midfield and attack
Joao Palhinha has made a positive impression for Spurs since his loan switch from Bayern Munich. The former Fulham man has slotted into their starting XI very nicely. He managed to get on the scoresheet against Doncaster and will be full of confidence.
Xavi Simons has the ideal opportunity to start against Wolves. He has recently joined from RB Leipzig and is still getting to grips with life in England. The Holland international has serious quality and was an eye-catching acquisition.
Spurs may select Lucas Bergvall from the off like they did against Brighton. At the age of just 19 still, he has bags of potential and will only get better. He has a bright future ahead of him and is still developing his game.
Frank’s side snapped up Mohamed Kudus from West Ham to bolster their attacking department. He was brought in to add more competition and depth to their attacking department. The forward will be looking to show what he can do again against Wolves.
On the other side, Johnson could keep his position ahead of Wilson Odobert after starting against Doncaster. The ex-Nottingham Forest man injects experience and pace into the team. He scored the winner in the Europa League final against Manchester United back in May and will always be remembered for that massive contribution now.
Spurs are poised to go with Richarlison up top. The Brazilian has enjoyed a new lease of life so far under Frank and seems to be enjoying himself. He scored against Brighton last Saturday and will be eyeing more goals to add to his tally.
