Tottenham have made a superb start to life under new manager Thomas Frank, taking ten points from five Premier League matches to start the weekend in third, and they will be looking to build on their early success when they entertain rock-bottom Wolves on Saturday evening.

The visitors are already feeling the heat following five successive defeats, although they will be hoping Tuesday's EFL Cup victory over Everton can provide them with the platform to kick on at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Tottenham vs Wolvespreview

Wolves have won four and drawn one of their last five Premier League meetings with Tottenham and the basement boys will be hoping that record can inspire something deep from within as they bid to pick up their first point of the campaign.

However, Wolves are already in serious danger of being cut adrift at the bottom of the Premier League table following five straight defeats and it is hard to see them turning the corner at a new-look Spurs.

Vítor Pereira’s men put their poor league form behind them as they beat a much-changed Everton 2-0 in the third round of the EFL Cup on Tuesday, but this represents a hike in difficulty.

Wolves have made their worst start to a league season in their history and last Saturday’s 3-1 defeat at home to Leeds only exacerbated relegation fears after they relinquished an early lead to concede three times in 14 first-half minutes.

The departures of Matheus Cunha, Rayan Ait-Nouri and the reliable Nelson Semedo has done even more damage than first feared and that raises doubt as to whether they have the character and quality needed to survive the fight.

It is still early days but Wolves have been trailing at half-time in each of their last nine Premier League games, which continually puts them on the back foot, and there seems to be a reliance on physical forward Jorgen Strand Larsen to provide their attacking impetus.

The Molineux men have lost three of their five league games to nil and this trip to Tottenham could follow a similar narrative to their 1-0 defeats away at Bournemouth and Newcastle.

Pereira had no choice but to stay compact, which is why that pair forced only four shots on target apiece, but once they fell behind the writing was virtually on the wall.

Spurs have taken ten points in five Premier League games under Thomas Frank and clean sheets against Burnley, Manchester City and West Ham show that they are far less chaotic than they were with Ange Postecoglou at the helm, especially with Bayern Munich loanee Joao Palhinha anchoring the midfield.

Go Gomes in pursuit of cards

Only Fulham’s Sasa Lukic and Igor Thiago of Brentford have committed more fouls than combative Wolves midfielder Joao Gomes (12) this season and he has been booked in two of his four Premier League meetings with Spurs.

The Brazilian relishes a scrap - he has been booked in three of his last six appearances - and Tottenham’s quality midfield three will severely test his patience.

Spurs to work hard for their rewards

The league table would suggest that this should be routine work for Tottenham but Wolves were plucky in defence in 1-0 losses at Bournemouth and Newcastle and it may take a moment of brilliance for the hosts to unlock the Old Gold rearguard.

Tottenham vs Wolves Bet Builder

Tottenham to win

Wolves have lost all five of their Premier League matches this season and the tide is unlikely to turn at a much-improved Tottenham.

Joao Gomes to be shown a card

The Wolves midfielder loves to get stuck in, having committed 12 fouls in five league games and picked up bookings away at Bournemouth and Newcastle.

Cristian Romero to commit a foul

The Tottenham centre-back has committed six fouls in five league games and he will be relishing the chance to rough up a physical presence like Jorgen Strand Larsen.

Tottenham vs Villarreal preview

Tottenham's most recent Champions League campaign, in 2022-23, ended with a disappointing 1-0 aggregate defeat to Milan in the round of 16.

However, confidence is high in the Spurs camp as they return to the competition with a matchday-one home fixture against Villarreal on Tuesday.

Brennan Johnson's goal settled last season's scrappy Europa League final against Manchester United in Tottenham's favour, securing Champions League football for a team who finished 17th in the Premier League.

That dismal domestic effort under Ange Postecoglou is already a distant memory for Spurs fans, who have enjoyed 3-0 wins over Burnley and West Ham and a 2-0 victory away to Manchester City in their first four games under new man Thomas Frank.

The only setback in the league was a 1-0 home defeat to in-form Bournemouth and Frank could also take positives from his first competitive fixture as Tottenham boss – last month's daunting Uefa Super Cup clash with Paris Saint-Germain.

Spurs led the European champions 2-0 until the 85th minute before conceding two late goals and losing 4-3 on penalties.

PSG's comeback was a reminder of the ruthlessness and focus required to compete in the Champions League and matchday-one visitors Villarreal are unlikely to roll over in north London.

They won their final six matches in La Liga last term to qualify for the Champions League and began the new campaign with stylish home wins over Real Oviedo (2-0) and Girona (5-0).

Their progress has stalled in their last two games, though, as they conceded a late equaliser at Celta Vigo and lost 2-0 at Atletico Madrid on Saturday.

There was not much between the teams in Madrid, where Atletico scored with two of their three shots on target and Nicolas Pepe hit the crossbar for Villarreal.

The Yellow Submarine have injuries in defence but are still capable of frustrating Tottenham until the break and the draw-Spurs double result – a winner in Saturday's 3-0 victory at West Ham – is a decent bet.

Rising star Moleiro may unsettle home defence

Young winger Alberto Moleiro caught the eye for Las Palmas last season, scoring six goals and averaging 1.9 shots per game in La Liga, and he has made a bright start to his Villarreal career.

The Spain Under-21 international had three shots against Atletico, more than any other player on the pitch, and could shine on his Champions League debut.

Back Spurs forward to collect another card

Tottenham striker Richarlison is expected to lead the line after dropping to the bench for the weekend win at West Ham and he looks overpriced to be booked.

The Brazil forward relishes the physical side of the game and he picked up yellow cards in Tottenham's high-profile fixtures against PSG and Manchester City this term.

Tottenham vs Villarreal Bet Builder

Under 3.5 goals

None of Tottenham's first four Premier League games under Thomas Frank produced over 3.5 goals and three of Villarreal's four league matches ended with under 2.5 goals.

Nicolas Pepe to have a shot on target

La Liga's Player of the Month for August scored twice in his first three appearances of the season and hit the crossbar with a free-kick against Atletico Madrid on Saturday.

Rodrigo Bentancur to be shown a card

Tottenham's midfield enforcer picked up 13 yellow cards in 32 Premier League and Europa League starts last season.
