We expect quite an interesting Sunday game in the English Premier League as it is full of intrigue and no one knows for sure what result we should expect.
Both teams suffered disappointing defeats in previous matches and are very keen to rehabilitate themselves. What will the best Premier League coach of January counter the formidable and experienced Antonio Conte?
We’ll bring you up to speed and tell you all the most interesting stuff before the match.
Tottenham Hotspur News & Current Form:
Tottenham were unlucky in the Conference League this year, where the team made it to the group stage, but due to the fact that they could not go to the last match against Rennes because of COVID and related postponements, they were given a technical defeat, which was critical in the shortfall of points.
It should not be forgotten that Spurs have progressed to the semifinals of the Carabao Cup, where they could not get past Chelsea.
As for the English Premier League: Spurs have been unsuccessful in the last rounds of the championship, suffering 2 defeats in a row. Now they are on the 7th line with 36 points, at the moment the gap from the Champions League zone is 4 points.
Last round, the Yids lost to Southampton 2:3 in a thriller. The game was very difficult for Antonio Conte’s team, and at the end of the game VAR technology played a cruel joke on the hosts: the Londoners were losing 2:3 as they conceded twice in a row, and in added time the goal of Steven Bergwijn was canceled due to offside.
A round earlier, Tottenham suffered a disappointing defeat in the London derby against Chelsea, sinking 0-2. Before the setback, they beat Leicester 3-2 and relegation zone side Watford 1-0.
Eric Dier and Japhet Tanganga, Oliver Skipp are questionable for the match.
Wolverhampton Wanderers News & Current Form:
January’s best PL coach, Bruno Lage, also had his mood spoiled. Last round, his team lost on home ground to Arsenal (0-1).
In any case, Wolverhampton have a good chance to get ahead of Tottenham in the fight for the Eurocup places in case of victory, as they are only 2 points behind, even though the White and Black have one game to spare.
Before the Thursday`s defeat, the Wanderers marched on an unbeaten streak of five meetings. The clashes with Chelsea (0-0) and Man United (1-0) come to mind particularly clearly. There were also victories over Southampton (3-1) and Brentford (2-1).
At the same time no one expected the guests to be knocked out of the FA Cup recently. They lost to modest Norwich 0-1. Thus, before the upcoming game, the Oranges have already lost two games in a row.
Willy Boly, Yerson Mosquera, Pedro Neto (questionable) and Joao Moutinho will not be able to play.

What has been said before the match:
“For us, it’s very important because we lost the last game. For sure, when you lose the two games before, you feel a bit of pressure, no? We have to be prepared to give everything.”
said Antonio.
“It will be a tough game. We know very well that in this league now, Wolves are a reality, a team that every season have a good season, good players, good manager. They have their own identity, they are working with the same system for many years and, for sure, we have to pay great attention.”
“We lost the game against Southampton, so we need to get the three points, we need to play a good game, pay more attention, because it was a pity to lose when we were 2-1 up with only 20 minutes to go.”
“Every time, it’s a good time to play like we play and to win points. That’s the target. We’ve got to move on, continue, and even if we’d have won [on Thursday night], we’d go there with the same ambition to play our game and create our chances.”
“We will fight for the ball. You saw our mentality [against Arsenal]. We know how they play and every time, our first idea is to play with the ball. It’s going to be hard, of course, and we will try to win. The one thing I do every time when I start to prepare the game is look at the offensive side. When you go for a game, you really don’t know how much time you’ll have the ball, but when you get the ball, we need to play our game.”
told the Portuguese about how he is preparing and wants to play against his future opponent.
Tottenham Hotspur vs Wolverhampton Wanderers Prediction:
The neighbors in the standings are meeting, every tournament point is like gold for them and today the rivals will try to determine which of them will come out ahead. The statistics of face-to-face meetings is on the side of Spurs” they look more preferable in terms of the lineup as for the day, and they will have serious support at home – however, their form levels out all these advantages.
It is worth realizing that Wolverhampton is a team that allows very few goals in their net. This is the second lowest total after Man City, with only 17 conceded goals.
Given Wolverhampton’s defensive style, we should not expect a lot of goals in the upcoming game. In 10 of the past 12 matches of Wolves there have been scored less than 2.5, this is also true for 3 of the last 4 face-to-face games.
In favor of this scenario plays the statistics of The Wanderers against the leading clubs of the EPL. Wolves are really disciplined against the “big six” teams. In the matches against Tottenham (0-1), MU (0-1 home, 0-1 away), West Ham (1-0), Liverpool (0-1), MC (0-1), Chelsea (0-0) and Arsenal (0-1) not more than 1 goal was scored.
