Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the English Premier League match.
Last season, 16th-placed Wolverhampton Wanderers finished above Tottenham Hotspur, yet the two have gone in opposite directions since. The hosts have an excellent chance to take all three points from the visitors.
Tottenham Hotspur
Tottenham Hotspur are now competing in the Champions League and are fully aware of their level. Villarreal were beaten in London (0:1). In the English Premier League only Bournemouth (1:0) and Brighton & Hove Albion (2:2) have found a way to stop the team, and both were fighting for European places last season. The squad have already scored 10 goals, and Richarlison de Andrade (three goals) and Brennan Johnson (two goals) are among the English Premier League top ten scorers.
Wolverhampton Wanderers
Wolverhampton Wanderers have scored only three goals in total and have not earned a single point. The gap to 19th place is one win. They have been winning only in the EFL Cup, when opponents rest their key players. In the third round they went past Everton, who did not have Jack Grealish in the starting XI (2:0). Curiously, at the same Molineux Stadium less than a month earlier the team lost (2:3). In that game the player provided two assists, and this week he achieved nothing in half an hour on the pitch.
Tottenham Hotspur vs Wolverhampton Wanderers Prediction
Even with a trip beyond the Arctic Circle to Bodø/Glimt next Tuesday, the full first-choice line-up should start in London. There are no new injuries, so the visitors should expect a defeat.
