Today sees Wolverhampton Wanderers host Tottenham Hotspur in the early kick-off, with the visitors missing several key players after red cards and injuries sustained last weekend against Chelsea. Spurs remain second in the table ahead of this weekend’s action, with a victory taking them back to the top above Man City.
Wolves on the other hand have won just one of their last four and sit 14th in the table, while they are themselves missing key forward Pedro Neto through injury.

Hwang is flagged offside as Kilman tries to send him clear, though it did look like Davies was playing him on. Wolves have gotten plenty of joy against this makeshift Spurs team, but they need to take advantage of this positive spell. Five to go until half-time.
