Tottenham vs Wolves LIVE!

Wolves put a dent in Tottenham’s top-four ambitions as Joao Gomes scored twice in an impressive 2-1 away victory in the Premier League on Saturday.

Gomes headed Wolves in front shortly before half-time and struck again in the 63rd minute after Dejan Kulusevski had equalised immediately after the break.

It was Wolves' fourth win in their last six Premier League games at Tottenham and completed the double this season after their victory at Molineux in October.

Defeat, combined with Aston Villa's win at Fulham, dropped Tottenham down to fifth place with 47 points from 25 games. Wolves moved into 10th with 35 points.

Thanks for following along with today’s live blog!

Tottenham lost their grip on fourth place after being subjected to an away-day masterclass by Wolves.

Gary O’Neil’s side required only 30 per cent possession to secure a 2-1 win in north London on Saturday, with Joao Gomes netting twice either side of Dejan Kulusevski’s leveller.

Some cultured touches, as is always the case, but Maddison was underwhelming here.

On his return to the team, Son was marked closely and struggled to have an impact.

Deep cross from Pedro Neto reaches Rayan Ait-Nouri unmarked at the far post, but it’s a tough one to control at full pace and he runs out of room.

Dom Smith at Tottenham Stadium

16:36 , Marc Mayo

It’s a very subdued atmosphere here as Tottenham search for some impetus and a way back into this contest. At the moment, it’s difficult to see where it comes from.

Tottenham 1-2 Wolves | 72 mins

16:34 , Marc Mayo

Wolves respond with their first substitution, Jeanricner Bellegarde on for Pablo Sarabia to add some more defensive nous.

Arsenal are now four up at Burnley while Bournemouth are back in front at Newcastle.

Joao Gomes booked for taking out Emerson Royal with a cynical foul.

16:27 , Marc Mayo

Yves Bissouma has been good here, but the ball is nicked off him a Tottenham corner, and at lightning pace Wolves rush down the other end.

Pedro Neto squares for Joao Gomes to grab his second. It’s poor defending all over from Spurs, who trail again.

GGGOOOAALLLL!!! Tottenham 1-2 Wolves | Gomes, 63'

Huge block from Nelson Semedo as Dejan Kulusevski arrives onto a deflected cross, which had sat up perfectly at the far post.

Goal for Aston Villa!

16:20 , Marc Mayo

There will be no favours from Fulham for Spurs today.

Ollie Watkins has his second and Aston Villa lead 2-0 at Craven Cottage, which will put them into fourth place as things stand.

Elsewhere, Newcastle are now level with Bournemouth after an Anthony Gordon penalty.

The free-kick pinged along the ground to Heung-min Son on the left but his cross is low, hard... and right at Jose Sa.

Spurs on top after the goal.

Around the grounds

16:13 , Marc Mayo

Two other early goals in the second half of the Premier League’s 3pm kick-offs.

Newcastle are a goal down to Bournemouth, with Dominic Solanke on the scoresheet, a goal which is good for both of these teams. Arsenal also net at Burnley, where they lead 3-0.

Tottenham 1-1 Wolves | 48 mins

16:10 , Marc Mayo

Inevitably there is a lot more life about Spurs since the goal.

Ben Davies gallops forward to win a corner, which is flicked over by Richarlison. Perhaps the first set play to land on a Tottenham head all afternoon.

Dom Smith at Tottenham Stadium

16:09 , Marc Mayo

Instant reaction from Spurs, who equalise less than a minute after the break through Kulusevski. Just what a slightly restless home crowd needed to see.

GGGOOOAAALLLL!!! Tottenham 1-1 Wolves | Kulusevski, 46'

16:07 , Marc Mayo

HOW IS THAT FOR A RESTART?!

Dejan Kulusevski waltzes into the area, skins Craig Dawson and rolls a shot home - Spurs level up only 33 seconds into the half!

Arsenal 2-0 up at Burnley as they look to cut the gap in the title race.

Damning stats for Spurs

16:00

This is the fourth home game in a row where Tottenham have conceded the first goal.

That is a run reminiscent of Antonio Conte’s team of last season, which routinely fell behind before rallying themselves late on - to varying effects.

Here, they have held 65 per cent of possession but had zero shots on target.

The road is where the heart is for Wolves

15:56 , Marc Mayo

Wolves heading for a fourth win in six away games to keep up their unbeaten run on the road.

As things stand, they’ll go tenth in the table and just two points off the final European place.

Dom Smith at Tottenham Stadium

15:53 , Marc Mayo

Disappointing first half for a Spurs side who saw plenty of the ball but barely tested the Wolves goal — the only save Jose Sa had to make coming with the final action of the half when he denied Richarlison on the angle.

Wolves have been potent on the break, and yet they lead through a set-piece, with Joao Gomes’ superb header the different at the break.

A braver display needed from Ange Postecoglou’s Spurs after the interval.

Tottenham 0-1 Wolves | Half-time!

15:51 , Marc Mayo

James Maddison wins a corner from a scramble in the box but, once again, a Wolves head is first to the delivery and the visitors are good value for their lead at the break.

Tottenham 0-1 Wolves | 45+2 mins

15:48 , Marc Mayo

SAVE!

The offside flag is up but we can still appreciate a delightful diving stop from Guglielmo Vicario on Pablo Sarabia’s volley.

Wolves are hunting for a second in stoppage time...

15:46 , Marc Mayo

Wolves into a shock lead here, and if it stayed like this it would be three wins in three games against Tottenham.

Joao Gomes is unmarked from Pablo Sarabia’s corner, and he leaps into the air to plant a lovely header past Guglielmo Vicario.

An excellent goal that has dampened the mood here around most of the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium just before half-time.

GGGGOOOAAALLL!! Tottenham 0-1 Wolves | Gomes, 43'

THE VISITORS LEAD!

Simple yet brilliant for Wolves as a corner swings in for Joao Gomes to power home a header!

A perfect time for them to score...

Spurs with 64 per cent possession but no shots on target as we approach the break.

Tottenham 0-0 Wolves | 35 mins

15:37 , Marc Mayo

A few niggling fouls being landed of late, chiefly by the hosts as Wolves look to counter. The latest arrives from Ben Davies on Pablo Sarabia.

Not a bad tactic, as Ange Postecoglou will see it, particularly with no yellow cards dished out yet.

Tottenham 0-0 Wolves | 30 mins

15:32 , Marc Mayo

Nelson Semedo is caught up the pitch and Spurs counter through Richarlison, but his cute ball in behind is picked off - and he fouls Craig Dawson as Wolves clear.

Dom Smith at Tottenham Stadium

15:29 , Marc Mayo

Spurs upping the ante here with a succession of corners following a free-kick a short time ago. Wolves defending resolutely so far but no denying the hosts have raised their level in the last ten minutes.

Tottenham 0-0 Wolves | 27 mins

15:29 , Marc Mayo

Another James Maddison set-piece delivery, another strong Wolves header away.

But Spurs are building a sustained period of pressure here...

Tottenham 0-0 Wolves | 26 mins

15:28 , Marc Mayo

Toti Gomes cleans out Pape Sarr a yard from the 18-yard line and byline.

James Maddison on the out-swinger, headed away before Sarr’s air-kick and Craig Dawson concedes a corner from the second ball.

Goal for Aston Villa!

15:24 , Marc Mayo

Ollie Watkins fires Villa ahead at Fulham, knocking Tottenham down into fifth as things stand.

Arsenal are also a goal up, away to Burnley.

Tottenham 0-0 Wolves | 22 mins

15:23 , Marc Mayo

Mario Lemina back on with a few harsh boos from the home fans.

Spurs probing and relying on crosses from the byline, and Heung-min Son’s latest beats everyone.

Tottenham 0-0 Wolves | 19 mins

15:21 , Marc Mayo

Wolves’ medics take their time in checking Mario Lemina, with what looks like a concussion test.

No sign that they are readying a sub however, as the midfielder heads to the sideline looking a little dazed.

Dom Smith at Tottenham Stadium

15:19 , Marc Mayo

Naughty challenge by Richarlison. He knows exactly what he’s doing as he arrives with running momentum to barge the airborne Mario Lemina in the back.

Lemina appears to have jolted his head and is getting treatment.

Tottenham 0-0 Wolves | 16 mins

15:17 , Marc Mayo

Spurs stand off Rayan Ait-Nouri in the D and are a little fortunate he can’t quite get the whip he wanted on his shot, which the goalkeeper holds onto.

Tottenham 0-0 Wolves | 14 mins

15:16 , Marc Mayo

Spurs see a pair of crosses repelled before a but of head tennis bounces the ball towards Ben Davies, who whacks it first time and volleys over.

Tottenham 0-0 Wolves | 12 mins

15:14 , Marc Mayo

Ben Davies, in at left-back for the injured Destiny Udogie, faces down Pablo Sarabia expertly to win the ball by his own box and a free-kick to boot.

Tottenham 0-0 Wolves | 10 mins

15:12 , Marc Mayo

It’s been a solid response from Wolves to the early Tottenham pressure, and both teams are opting to slow it down and keep the ball to ensure they don’t lose the first goal.

Perhaps a nervier start than Spurs fans, including a certain Lord Sugar, would have hoped for.

Tottenham 0-0 Wolves | 7 mins

15:08 , Marc Mayo

CHANCE!

First shot on target comes from Wolves, who lead a good breakaway but Pablo Sarabia opts to shoot from distance when he had plenty more time available. It’s easily held by Guglielmo Vicario.

The away team come again though and Hwang Hee-chan fires a rebound over the bar from point-blank range!

Dom Smith at Tottenham Stadium

15:07 , Marc Mayo

Very front-footed start by Spurs, who have been popping it about at quite a pace in the first five minutes here. Good start by the home side.

Tottenham 0-0 Wolves | 4 mins

15:06 , Marc Mayo

Jose Sa off his line well to clear a dangerous through ball for James Maddison, before Spurs come again and Richarlison is edged out in the area.

Craig Dawson stays down from a subsequent cross and Wolves won’t mind too much, presuming he isn’t truly injured, as they look to slow down the hosts’ bright start.

Tottenham 0-0 Wolves | 2 mins

15:04 , Marc Mayo

Good start from Spurs, on the front foot and Richarlison clips in a cross to win a corner.

James Maddison swings in a decent cross but Mario Lemina rises well to head out.

Tottenham vs Wolves | Kick-off!

15:01 , Marc Mayo

Here we go! Spurs and Wolves face off in the Premier League.

Here come the players!

14:57 , Marc Mayo

Heung-min Son and Max Kilman lead the two teams out onto the pitch behind referee Anthony Taylor.

Ready to go in north London

14:54 , Marc Mayo

Pretty much every seat is filled as the pre-match video is played out in Tottenham Stadium.

There is always a strong Korean attendance for Heung-min Son but it feels as though the Spurs captain has even more support from home today, likely as this is his first start since the Asian Cup and his compatriot Hwang Hee-chan lines up for Wolves.

What's at stake today

14:49 , Marc Mayo

Spurs can go four points clear in the race for fourth place and even pull to within two points of third-placed Arsenal if they win and other results go their way today.

Wolves will leapfrog Chelsea into tenth with a win, ahead of the Blues’ trip to Man City later on.

A defeat puts them at risk of Fulham edging past them, if the Cottagers win at home to Aston Villa and overturn a four-goal deficit in terms of goal-difference

Kick-off in ten minutes!

Why Ange Postecoglou has turned to Yves Bissouma

14:44 , Marc Mayo

Yves Bissouma is poised to make his first start for Tottenham since mid-December in a few short moments’ time.

The 27-year-old, a crucial cog in the Spurs machine earlier this season, has endured a frustrating, stop-start couple of months.

This season, he has been exceptional, registering a pass completion rate of 91.1 per cent.

Bissouma has made more tackles in the middle third of the pitch than any other Spurs player this season — despite his two-month absence — but he must improve his discipline. Bissouma is both Spurs' most booked and red-carded player this term.

Gary O'Neil looking for repeat performance

14:40 , Marc Mayo

Wolves have enjoyed success away from home of late, where they are unbeaten in five games, and Gary O’Neil is looking forward to implementing a familiar style against Tottenham.

He said: “We’ll do our best to do that and see if we can make it an uncomfortable day for Tottenham.

“They are a really good side, they have some top quality players, extreme strengths, and they will ask us a lot of questions. So, we need to be able to answer them and we know we can pose a threat with some of the attacking players we have.

“They don’t change, they play the same way a lot. Really comfortable with the ball, have a lot of the ball, really aggressive without it to get it back quickly, so we’ve prepared the lads on what that might feel like, especially at their place with their home crowd and them coming after us.

“We’re going to need to be clean with the ball and understand the solutions very quickly. They try and combine a lot, loads of short passes, combining through the middle, obviously fantastic attacking players.

“We go there with a game plan and a shape we’ve used before and look to carry it out as well as possible.”

Full time in the early game

14:34 , Marc Mayo

Liverpool with a comfortable 4-1 win at Brentford to push them into a (potentially temporary) five-point advantage atop the table.

Not much impact on Spurs or Wolves, mind. Aston Villa’s trip to Fulham and today’s games involving Newcastle, Chelsea and West Ham are of more concern.

The supercomputer hath spoken

14:26 , Marc Mayo

According to the AI-based supercomputer from the boffins at BetIdeas, Spurs have a 66 per cent chance of beating Wolves this afternoon.

That leaves a 20 per cent chance for a draw and 14 per cent for an away win.

Ange Postecoglou labels Heung-min Son a true 'leader'

14:21 , Marc Mayo

Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou has hailed club captain Heung-min Son as a true “leader”.

Postecoglou made the South Korea star Tottenham’s full-time skipper but he hit the headlines when it emerged he had dislocated his finger in an altercation with South Korea teammate Lee Kang-in ahead of their shock Asia Cup defeat to Jordan.

Postecoglou said: “I don't know all the details [of the altercation] and kind of don't want to know, because it is an internal matter [for South Korea]. But what I know of the story is Sonny showing leadership.

“That's what leadership is all about. Leadership is not about being popular and trying to make everybody happy, it's about when you see something that you don't feel is right, then you stand up for it because it's the best thing for the group. I see that in Sonny.”

Pedro Porro makes injury vow

14:17 , Marc Mayo

Tottenham full-back Pedro Porro has described his injury blow as a “small bump in the road”.

Fans spotted that Porro was not present at Spurs’ open training session in midweek and Ange Postecoglou has confirmed his absence.

The manager said ahead of today’s game with Wolves that the Spaniard will miss out having suffered a “strain” in training, potentially keeping him out for a fortnight.

The player has now posted on social media that he expects to make a quick return.

“Small bump in the road but same mentality as always,” he wrote.

“Back soon.”

One change for Wolves

14:10 , Marc Mayo

As expected, Hwang Hee-chan is in the visitors’ XI after Matheus Cunha was ruled out with a hamstring injury.

Matt Doherty on the bench against his old club.

Dom Smith at Tottenham Stadium

14:08 , Marc Mayo

So Tottenham shuffle the pack, with Ange Postecoglou forced into changes at full-back due to injuries for Destiny Udogie and Pedro Porro.

In their places start Emerson Royal and Ben Davies.

There is more good news in that Yves Bissouma starts his first match since mid-December following a stop-start time of it due to suspensions and then competing at the Africa Cup of Nations.

He partners Pape Sarr in the midfield double pivot that worked so well for Spurs earlier in the season.

How Wolves line up

Aston Villa face Fulham at the same time as our game in north London, which we’ll be sure to keep you abreast of.

Newcastle also host Bournemouth and West Ham head to Nottingham Forest.

Ange Postecoglou delivers injury update

13:36 , Marc Mayo

Fraser Forster, Destiny Udogie and Pedro Porro all miss out today, while the Spurs boss has also been speaking about Ryan Sessegnon.

Ange Postecoglou said: “We’ve had a couple of setbacks this week. Destiny picked up a little bit of a knock last week and he’s not available for tomorrow.

“I don’t think it’s anything serious ... he should be back [to face Crystal Palace]. Pedro picked up a strain in training. Hopefully a couple of weeks for him.

“The major one is Fraser Forster. He’s got a bit of a fracture in his foot, so he’ll miss about two months.”

On Sessegnon, he added: “He’s back training, which is the first thing. Now he’s got to put a body of work together in training and we’ll go from there.

“This is the first week we’ve had with him. So far, this week, he’s trained well, done everything he’s been asked of, and hopefully that continues.”

Throwback: Mario Lemina sinks Spurs

13:24

The last time these two met, Wolves scored in the 91st and 97th minute to claim a 2-1 win.

13:00

We are two hours away from this Premier League clash getting underway.

Team news is expected at 2pm GMT.

Tottenham vs Wolves prediction

12:52

Tottenham will be rightly wary of Wolves after seeing them dismantle Chelsea on their last trip to London earlier this month, though injury to the visitors’ forward line will have a say on the game. Even with Pedro Neto fit and firing again, Cunha and Hwang’s absence could blunt O’Neil’s side.

Spurs have Son back and it took him just half an hour to get another goal contributing, laying the ball on a plate for Johnson’s 96th-minute winner against Brighton, and his return to skipper the side is huge. Spurs have scored in 36 consecutive league games, and I expect that record to continue.

Spurs to win, 2-0.

Our prediction for the Wolves line-up

12:45

Predicted Wolves XI (3-4-3): Sa; Kilman, Dawson, Toti; Semedo, Lemina, Doyle, Ait-Nouri; Sarabia, Hwang, Neto

Early Wolves team news

12:38

Wolves will hope to hand a start to Heung-min Son's South Korea teammate Hwang Hee-chan after he was left out of the squad for the defeat to Brentford due to a calf injury.

Fellow forward Matheus Cunha is also out after suffering a significant hamstring injury.

How we think Spurs will line up

12:33

Predicted Tottenham XI (4-2-3-1): Vicario; Dragusin, Van de Ven, Romero, Davies; Bissouma, Sarr; Kulusevski, Maddison, Son; Richarlison

Early Spurs team news

12:26

Destiny Udogie and Pedro Porro have been ruled out of the game through injury. Emerson Royal and Ben Davies are in reserve to cover. Giovani Lo Celso is hoping to be back in contention after another week on the training ground.

Last week, Tottenham against Brighton brought Heung-min Son off the bench upon the captain’s return from the Asian Cup, so should start at the weekend.

Timo Werner is the most likely to drop out, with Dejan Kulusevski better on the right and Richarlison in fine goalscoring form through the middle.

Brennan Johnson scored the winner against Brighton so will stake his own claim to start.
