Jamie O’Hara has given his take on which player should play alongside Eric Dier at centre-back for Tottenham Hotspur against Wolverhampton Wanderers this weekend.
Tottenham Hotspur will take on Wolverhampton Wanderers away from home in the Premier League on Saturday.
Spurs will head into the match against Wolves on the back of a 4-1 defeat to Chelsea at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the London derby.
Cristian Romero was sent off in the first half.
Romero is suspended for Tottenham for the match against Wolves.
Tottenham Hotspur told to start Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg in defence v Wolverhampton Wanderers
Micky van de Ven suffered an injury against Chelsea and will not play against the Wanderers either.
Former Tottenham player and talkSPORT pundit Jamie O’Hara believes that Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg should start alongside Dier at centre-back against Wolves.
Hojbjerg is a defensive midfielder by trade, but the 28-year-old Denmark international did come on for the injured Van de Ven against Chelsea in the Premier League match on Monday.
The former Southampton star was brilliant at the back and made a terrific goal-line block.
Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg in defence for Tottenham vs Wolves a smart idea
I believe that Tottenham Hotspur head coach Ange Postecoglou should start Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg in central defence.
Hojbjerg did well alongside Eric Dier at the back against Chelsea.
Wolverhampton Wanderers are a good team, but they are not among the best in the Premier League.
I believe that Hojbjerg and Dier would do a good job in defence and would be able to cope with the Wolves attackers.
I am backing Tottenham to pick up all three points against the Wanderers.
Hojbjerg has made 228 appearances in the Premier League so far in his career.
The Dane has scored 12 goals and given 15 assists in those games.
