Tottenham Hotspur will welcome Wolverhampton Wanderers for their Premier League clash on Saturday.
Paul Merson has stated that he is dreading what Tottenham’s Harry Kane will do to Wolves when the two sides meet in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon.
The former Arsenal midfielder expressed that he was ‘disappointed’ with Wolves in their previous clash and claimed that Fulham striker Aleksandar Mitrovic ‘gave them a run around’.
Nuno Espirito Santo’s side recorded a 1-1 draw at Craven Cottage on Boxing Day, with Ryan Sessegnon scoring for the home team and Romain Saiss equalising with five minutes left on the clock.
Now, Wolves will come up against a side that is on a five-game winning run and having scored 11 goals in their previous two matches.
Soccer Saturday pundit Merson offered his thoughts on the up and coming fixture between Tottenham and Wolves as he explained what he is dreading.
“I was disappointed with Wolves against Fulham,” Merson told Sky Sports News on 28/12/2018 at 11:30 am. “I thought they were fortunate and I think if Mitrovic can give them a run around like he did then I dread to think what Kane is going to do to them.”
Over the course of the season, Kane has once again been in fine goalscoring form as he has found the back of the net on 12 occasions in the Premier League this term.
During the reverse fixture at Wolves in November, Kane scored against Tottenham’s weekend opponents in a closely-fought 3-2 win for the away side.
Wolves, who are two points off seventh-placed Leicester City in the table, can climb into the Premier League’s top 10 if they pick up some points at Wembley and others above them drop points.
