Tottenham Hotspur substitutes: Gazzaniga, Aurier, Sanchez, Skipp, Eriksen, Son, Llorente.

Wolves head into the game off the back of two defeats, having lost Watford and Brighton, and manager Nuno Espirito Santo will be looking for a response at Molineux tonight.

Rui Patricio keeps his place in goal, with a familiar back three in front of him of Ryan Bennett, Conor Coady and Willy Boly, whilst Matt Doherty and Jonny Otto feature as the two wing backs tonight.

Ruben Neves partners Portuguese compatriot Joao Moutinho in central midfield, whilst two more Portuguese talents play out wide in Helder Costa and Ivan Cavaleiro, with the latter handed a first league start of the season.

Raul Jimenez leads the line in attack, so Adama Traore is only on the bench, alongside John Ruddy, Morgan Gibbs-White, Ruben Vinagre, Kortney Hause, Leander Dendoncker and Leo Bonatini.

Meanwhile, Spurs played two games in 48 hours earlier this week, losing 1-0 at home to Manchester City before a 3-1 Carabao Cup win over West Ham United, in which Mauricio Pochettino rotated his side.

Hugo Lloris keeps his place in goal, whilst Juan Foyth is handed a first Premier League start tonight, partnering Toby Alderweireld at centre back, whilst Kieran Trippier and Ben Davies are at full back.

Mousa Dembele and Harry Winks sit in central midfield, with Moussa Sissoko and Lucas Moura out wide, and Erik Lamela supporting lone striker Harry Kane in attack.

Davinson Sanchez is understandable given a rest having played in both of those games, alongside Paulo Gazzaniga, Serge Aurier, Oliver Skipp, Christian Eriksen, Son Heung-min and Fernando Llorente.
