Ange Postecoglou and Tottenham will be looking to avoid a third straight Premier League defeat when Wolves visit the capital on Sunday afternoon. Put to the sword by Liverpool before Christmas and then losing at Nottingham Forest in their Boxing Day game, Spurs need to register three points or else they will fall even further behind their European rivals.

Perhaps seen as a guaranteed home win just over two weeks ago, Spurs now come up against a Wolves team bang in form following the appointment of Vitor Pereira in the hotseat. The 56-year-old has already overseen victories against Leicester City and Manchester United since replacing Gary O'Neil at Molineux and he will now be targeting a third successive win.

In their quest to bounce back from the defeat at Nottingham Forest, Postecoglou will make changes to his Tottenham team but once again he will have very little choice when it comes to his defence. So who exactly could come into the side for Sunday's match in N17? football.london takes a look below.

Pedro Porro for Djed Spence

It is a fairly easy decision when it comes to replacing Djed Spence at right-back for the Wolves match. The versatile player was given his marching orders in the closing minutes of the contest and he will now serve a one-match ban this weekend.

Pedro Porro will come in at right-back after having a bit of a breather at the City Ground on Boxing Day.

Alfie Dorrington or Yves Bissouma for Radu Dragusin

Radu Dragusin's participation in the Wolves game is up in the air right now due to the ankle injury he suffered in the closing minutes of the Nottingham Forest match. Postecoglou and Spurs face a huge decision if the Romanian centre-back is absent as there are very few options to play there right now.

Yves Bissouma did replace Dragusin in the closing minutes of the game but Postecoglou's pre-match comments suggest that the Mali international won't be used there due to a lack of experience. That could possibly open the door for academy ace Alfie Dorrington to come in.

The 19-year-old may have a real lack of first-team minutes to his name but he is, most importantly, an out-and-out centre-back.

Bissouma or Lucas Bergvall for Pape Matar Sarr

Pape Matar Sarr has played an awful lot of football in recent weeks and he would certainly benefit from a rest. If Bissouma is not to play at the heart of defence then the midfielder could come in and take the place of the youngster.

That in turn could see Rodrigo Bentancur move into the No.8 role as Bissouma sits at the base of midfield. Lucas Bergvall will be another pushing for a start following a really good showing at Southampton recently and some bright cameos off the bench when he has been introduced by Postecoglou.

James Maddison for Son Heung-min or Brennan Johnson

James Maddison will have his fingers cross that he is immediately reinstated to the Tottenham team after dropping down to the bench on Boxing Day. It could possibly be one of Son Heung-min or Brennan Johnson who makes way as a result to accommodate the ex-Leicester City man.

If that is indeed the case, Maddison can take his place in midfield and Dejan Kulusevski moves into the front three. Son has looked far from his best this season and could do with sitting a game out, although it is really a must-win match for Spurs and Postecoglou may believe it is best to start his captain.
