Tottenham vs Wolverhampton preview

Match preview

The fourth and fourteenth placed teams in the Premier League standings, Tottenham and Wolverhampton respectively, will lock horns on Saturday afternoon.

Wolves are yet to secure a win in the new Premier League season, and they certainly hope to change that on Saturday to kick off their season.

The signing of Sporting Lisbon midfielder Matheus Nunes has put every Wolves supporter in a good mood, but they need to make sure that they perform well on the football field too.

This game may be too early for the new signees Goncalo Guedes and Matheus Nunes to be in the starting line-up, but their acquisition is a statement to teammates who have historically played their roles with little competition.

The vision Wolves have pitched to Nunez and Guedes is not about relegation battles, but about European football.

Meanwhile, Antonio Conte and Thomas Tuchel had a loud argument at Stamford Bridge, but the dust must settle eventually. Conte’s focus now is on making sure that The Spurs keep gaining momentum.

Harry Kane’s last-minute equaliser meant that North Londoners felt like they had won the game, despite being mostly dominated by their city rivals.

Although Spurs earned some luck in their comeback, both the team and Conte deserve credit for the way they fought back into the game.

However, Conte’s behaviour on the sideline took away some of the praise that he and the team deserved. Hence, he will be absent from the game because of the red card he received.
