Tottenham Hotspur
After advancing into the Carabao Cup fourth round in midweek, we resume our Premier League campaign this weekend up against Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday (kick-off 8pm UK).
Hosting a Wolves side sitting 20th in the current league standings after five defeats in five, we're on a 15-game unbeaten streak against an opponent starting the day bottom of the table with 12 wins and three draws and netting three or more in the last 10 of those matches.
However, in a strange quirk, our previous five such defeats prior to that have been against teams beginning with a 'W', losing three times to West Bromwich Albion as well as once to Wigan Athletic and West Ham United.
The Old Gold have proven to be tricky opponents in recent seasons with us not tasting success in our last five meetings (D1, L4), last winning 1-0 back in August 2022, and so Thomas Frank will be determined to turnaround our fortunes to maintain our impressive start in 2025/26.
We have a few attackers with a strong record against Wolves who could help turn this match-up in our favour. In this fixture, Richarlison's six goals is his joint-best Premier League return, Brennan Johnson has either scored (three) or assisted (one) in each of his last four league starts and Mohammed Kudus has three goal contributions (two goals, one assist) in his previous two home league outings for his former side.
Since his move to north London in the summer, Mo has three league assists in our colours to date with all of them supplying Richy - the most any player has provided another so far this term.
Here are some other headline pre-match facts, courtesy of Opta, ahead of the Saturday night special:
- Only Liverpool (seven) have scored more second half goals in the Premier League than our six this season, while we are the only side yet to concede after half-time.
- Wolves have been trailing at half-time in each of their last nine Premier League games – no team has ever gone into the interval behind in 10 consecutive matches before.
- We have scored 10 goals from an xG of 6.1 in the league this season – only Liverpool (11 goals, seven xG) have overperformed their expected goals more (3.9).
- Richarlison has scored six goals in 12 Premier League games against Wolves – against no side has he netted more in the competition (also six vs Leicester City).
- Vitor Pereira's side have lost all five league games this season, with only three sides ever losing each of their first six in a single campaign (Portsmouth 2009/10, Crystal Palace 2017/18 and Norwich 2021/22).
- Meanwhile, Wolves have only lost two of their last eight Premier League visits to Tottenham Hotspur (W4 D2), avoiding defeat in their most recent two (W1 D1).
- We have failed to win any of our last six Premier League games kicking off at 8pm or later (D2 L4), since a 2-0 win at Nottingham Forest in December 2023.
- Whilst Wolves have also failed to win any of their last 16 Premier League games kicking off at 8pm or later (D3 L13).
