Wolves travel to North London this weekend off the back of their Carabao Cup win against Everton, a much-needed boost after a turbulent start to the league campaign.
However, another former player has admitted he cannot see the Old Gold getting anything from their visit to Tottenham.
Despite Wolves being unbeaten in their last five meetings with Spurs and boasting an impressive record at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, the hosts are strong favourites due to their impressive form this season.
Pundit Paul Merson has also tipped Wolves to leave without a point against Tottenham, echoing concerns about their early-season struggles.
Last season, Jorgen Strand Larsen salvaged a draw with a crucial goal, and the striker will be hoping to reproduce those heroics again this weekend.
However, Ray Parlour has cast doubt on the optimism shared by Wolves fans.
Ray Parlour thinks Wolves will score in a defeat to Tottenham
Spurs are third in the table, picking up 10 points from their first five games.
That is in stark contrast to Vitor Pereira’s side, who remain bottom of the league after five straight defeats.
Wolves can set an unwanted record for losing at half-time in 10 consecutive matches, if they are behind at the break this weekend.
Their defensive frailties have been ruthlessly exposed in the league, and even Parlour expects Spurs’ attacking quality to prove too much.
However, the pundit acknowledged that Wolves have enough firepower to trouble Tottenham’s backline.
Speaking on TalkSport, Parlour has predicted that Wolves will be beaten by Tottenham on Saturday but has backed them to at least find the net.
He said: “Tottenham are right up there at the moment. Playing well under Thomas Frank, very organised.
“I’m going to go I think Wolves will score. I’ll go 3-1. Tottenham.”
How Wolves can get a result against Tottenham
Despite the negative predictions, Wolves will travel to North London with plenty of optimism.
Their record against Tottenham in recent seasons proves they can frustrate and even unsettle the London side.
Pereira will need his players to stick to a counter-attacking setup, using pace and energy in transitions to exploit the gaps left when Spurs push forward.
Confidence and composure will also be vital, as the Old Gold cannot afford to waste chances when they arise.
Set pieces could also prove crucial, allowing the visitors to make their mark against one of the Premier League’s early high-flyers.
