Tottenham and Wolves will go head-to-head in the Premier League at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday night as both teams look to get into the win column.
Thomas Frank's side battled back from 2-0 down to earn a point away at Brighton last time out in the top-flight, before a dominant 3-0 win over Doncaster in the EFL Cup in midweek. Vitor Pereira's side, on the other hand, have lost all five games so far this season after a 3-1 loss to Leeds, although they reached the fourth round of the EFL Cup with a 2-1 win over Everton in midweek.
Both sides have some injury concerns to deal with, leaving the managers with some decisions to make, and this is how GIVEMESPORT expect the teams to line up.
Tottenham Team News
Spurs have been in great form so far this season, but Frank's squad is beginning to get a bit stretched with injuries, and several players.
Randal Kolo Muani, Pape Matar Sarr, Ben Davies, Dominic Solanke and Kota Takai are all pushing to be involved this weekend after missing recent games, while Yves Bissouma is yet to feature this season. James Maddison, Radu Dragusin and Dejan Kulusevski are long-term absentees.
Speaking in his pre-match press conference, Frank shared an update on his squad ahead of the game.
"Latest is that everyone who was available for Doncaster is available again. Pape [Sarr] trained today so that's positive.
"Kolo Muani is a dead leg that is just dragging on so he won't be available. It was in training. He collided with Pape Matar Sarr so I can blame Pape! No, it was just an accident. Dead legs can be quick things or they can drag on.
"Dom [Solanke] is not available. It's just been a little bit tricky [with him]. We're positive it will be relatively quick. It's still not perfect but it's moving in the right direction. When there's a bit of pain it's about getting it right. He wasn't on the grass today but he was earlier in the week."
Tottenham Predicted XI
Tottenham Predicted XI: Vicario; Spence, Romero, Van de Ven, Udogie; Palhinha, Bentancur, Bergvall; Kudus, Xavi, Richarlison.
Tottenham Predicted Substitutes: Kinsky (GK), Davies (DEF), Porro (DEF), Danso (DEF), Gray (MID), Sarr (MID), Johnson (FWD), Tel (FWD), Odobert (FWD).
Frank is likely to return to his trusted formation and lineup for this game, but vice-captain Pedro Porro could be rested ahead of the Champions League clash in midweek.
That could see him and Brennan Johnson, who earn a combined £230,000-a-week, benched as a result.
Wolves Team News
Wolves have lost all their top-flight games so far this season, but the manager is hopeful of being able to welcome Jorgen Strand Larsen back to the starting lineup in the competition following injury.
Brazilian midfielder Andre is dealing with a calf problem and is a doubt for this game, while Leon Chiwomie is ruled out after a serious knee injury earlier this year.
Speaking in his pre-match press conference, Pereira shared an update on his squad ahead of the game.
"No [injury concerns]. This is good, but it is a headache for me because of decisions, decisions, decisions with players that deserve to be in the first eleven. This is what it is, I prefer this kind of headache because now we have a full squad.
"We are going step by step with him [Larsen], tomorrow we will see his condition. He's not 100% in condition for 90 minutes, but we must manage the time he can play.
"Tottenham is a different challenge. I believe if we can play different systems, it is better for us.
"He [Arokodare] scored a beautiful goal, he showed quality in his finishing. He's getting his physical condition because when he arrived we pushed him to play, because we didn't have alternatives. We know he needs (time).
"Johnstone is doing good work. The squad is more balanced than last season because we have two players for each position and I believe it is time to prove why they are in the Premier League."
Wolves Predicted XI
Wolves Predicted XI: Sa; Agbadou, Mosquera, Toti; Tchatchoua, J. Gomes, Krejci, Wolfe; Munetsi, Strand Larsen, Bellegarde.
Wolves Predicted Substitutes: Johnstone (GK), Doherty (DEF), R. Gomes (DEF), H. Bueno (DEF), Hoever (DEF), Andre (MID), Arias (FWD), Hee-Chan (FWD), Arokodare (FWD).
Pereira is yet to orchestrate a victory in the Premier League this season, but he has been backed by the club hierarchy with a new contract and will be trusted to figure it out.
