Tottenham Hotspur face Wolves on Saturday afternoon as they look to continue their unbeaten start to the Premier League season.

Spurs should be absolutely fired up following their fiery clash with Chelsea last week, and they’ll come into this one desperate for a win.

This match at home against Wolves should be seen as a very winnable game for Antonio Conte’s side. Wolves are yet to get a win on the board this season, despite facing relegation-threatened Leeds United and newly-promoted Fulham.

However, the Midlands club have proven in recent years that they can be a thorn in the side of the big six, and with that in mind, we’ve had a go at predicting Tottenham’s starting XI for this one.

We think that Antonio Conte will make just a couple of changes from the team that started against Chelsea.

Cristian Romero misses out through injury, hence the inclusion of Davinson Sanchez as the right-sided centre-back, while Ivan Perisic comes in for Ryan Sessegnon.

Other than that, this is an unchanged XI.

Perhaps interestingly, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg starts after he was linked to Real Madrid on Friday, while Richarlison has to wait for his first Spurs start after joining in a big-money move from Everton earlier in this transfer window.

There are no prizes for guessing two of the front three as Heung-Min Son and Harry Kane once again lead the line for the north London outfit.
