Wolves are taking on Tottenham today in their final game of 2024.
The Old Gold are back on their travels with Vitor Pereira’s side set to face Tottenham in the capital.
Wolves moved out of the Premier League relegation zone on Boxing Day with a 2-0 victory over Man United at Molineux.
This helped to continue Pereira’s wonderful start at the Old Gold, with the manager winning every game so far.
Matheus Cunha’s form has continued to blossom under the new boss, with Premier League safety now seeming a real possibility.
Sunday’s match will also be seen as a highly winnable game. Tottenham are without nine stars, with the club amidst an injury crisis.
Therefore, Pereira has named a strong lineup to try to pick a result in the capital.
Vitor Pereira names Wolves starting XI vs Tottenham – Hwang Hee-Chan returns to the lineup
Jose Sa has unsurprisingly started in goal after he kept two clean sheets in his last two matches.
Wolves have made one change to their backline with Craig Dawson joining Nelson Semedo and Santiago Bueno after Toti Gomes picked up a knock. Matt Doherty and Rayan Ait-Nouri hold the wing-back positions.
Going forward, Andre and Joao Gomes remain as the duo in the middle with Mario Lemina still out of the squad with a knock.
Up top, Wolves’ front three has undergone the most changes, with Goncalo Guedes and Jorgen Strand Larsen dropping to the bench. In their place, Hwang Hee-Chan and Jean-Ricner Bellegarde return to the lineup to join Matheus Cunha up top.
What is Wolves’ head-to-head record with Tottenham?
Wolves have a solid record against Tottenham despite their establishment as a ‘big six’ side in recent years.
Of their 106 meetings, the Old Gold have won 33, while Spurs have overseen 52 victories.
The two sides’ most famous meeting came in 1972 when Tottenham beat Wolves in the UEFA Cup final over two legs.
However, since their return to the Premier League, the Old Gold has been more than competitive against the London side.
Last season, Wolves did the double over Tottenham, with the club famously scoring twice late on at Molineux to turn the game on its head.
In fact, in the last five meetings, Wolves have won four of the matches, with Spurs winning the other back in August 2022.
