Saturday’s opponents had their relegation confirmed earlier this week, after West Ham’s goalless draw with Crystal Palace sealed their drop to the Championship.
That result offers Tottenham a psychological lift ahead of the weekend as they chase their first win of 2026. Still, a visit to Molineux won’t be straightforward, with Wolves unbeaten in their last two home league games.
Spurs were forced to settle for a 2-2 draw against Brighton last time out, as Georginio Rutter scored late to deny them victory in Roberto De Zerbi’s first home match in charge.
Sitting just two points behind West Ham, Tottenham are desperate for three points as they look to kickstart their survival push.
De Zerbi is now considering changes after underwhelming performances from Randal Kolo Muani. Since arriving during the international break, the Italian has had to manage a squad short on confidence and hit by injuries.
With limited options out wide, Kolo Muani has been used in both matches, but the decision hasn’t paid off. The French forward struggled against Brighton, offering little attacking threat and failing to create chances.
As a result, he could drop to the bench this weekend, with Mathys Tel in line to start. Tel, who had previously caught De Zerbi’s attention during his time at Marseille, has appeared as a substitute in both games so far but impressed with his energy against Brighton.
Elsewhere, Archie Gray could come in for Yves Bissouma, while Rodrigo Bentancur is expected to keep his place after a strong showing that included an 86% pass accuracy and solid defensive work.
James Maddison has also returned to the squad after a long absence, although he may not be ready to start just yet.
Despite their relegation, Wolves remain a tricky opponent. Their form has improved under Rob Edwards, and recent home wins over Aston Villa and Liverpool highlight their threat at Molineux.
They also have a strong recent record against Tottenham, who have struggled for wins in this fixture in recent years.
With the pressure now off following relegation, Wolves will be eager to end the season on a high, especially with three home matches left to play.
Although Spurs may be favourites on paper, this is unlikely to be an easy game for the visitors.
