After suffering a 2-1 defeat to London rivals Chelsea last time out in the Premier League, Tottenham face another tricky test of their top four credentials with a home clash against Wolves.
The Lilywhites currently find themselves just a point ahead of Nuno Espirito Santo’s men, and know anything but a win will do as they look to stay in the hunt for that all-important Champions League spot.
Whilst a FA Cup fifth round tie against Norwich looms on the horizon on Wednesday, Jose Mourinho will no doubt be looking to go full strength when Wolves visit.

Below is a look at how the north London side might line up.
With Wolves also generally favouring a three-at-the-back formation, Mourinho may look to match up tactically just as he did against Chelsea last weekend.
After finding himself on the bench at Stamford Bridge, Serge Aurier may earn a recall due to his greater attacking threat than Japhet Tanganga – the Ivory Coast international’s total of four assists in the top-flight putting him second amongst his teammates.
In midfield, Tanguy Ndombele’s inability to complete a full game continued against Frank Lampard’s side, this time being withdrawn after 63 minutes, meaning he hasn’t lasted the full distance in the Premier League since December 28. The Frenchman could make way for a returning Dele Alli, who was named as a substitute last week.

And with Lucas Moura enduring a particularly disappointing display, Erik Lamela may also fancy his chances of being given an opportunity to shine by Mourinho.
Predicted XI: Lloris; Aurier, Sanchez, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Davies; Lamela, Winks, Alli, Lo Celso; Bergwijn.
Meanwhile, this man’s return is just as important to Tottenham as Harry Kane.
