Tottenham Hotspur vs Wolves Preview

• Tournament: English Premier League
• Date: Sunday, December 29
• Kick-off Time: 03:00 PM GMT
• Venue: Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, north London.

After two consecutive losses, Tottenham Hotspur are set to host Wolverhampton Wanderers F.C. next in the English Premier League 2024-25. Wolves are here after two back-to-back wins, with the last one coming against Manchester United, helping them come out of the relegation zone for the time being. This will be the 19th game in the English top tier this season for both sides, thus concluding an exact half of the season.

Hosts Tottenham Hotspur haven’t played like the giants they are. They have constantly been under the thorns of poor form, and now coach Ange Postecoglou looks helpless with this side. It’s a home game with a side in a much poorer state, so they really need to get their best here or else they will be pushed further down from the 11th spot.

Wolverhampton Wanderers F.C. are looking a bit better in the last few days. They beat Leicester City and giants Manchester United with domination. This sudden boost in form should up their morale to a great extent, and now that they are out of the relegation zone for the time being, ideally, they must be looking to play safe but in reality, they should look for nothing but a victory against a weak Tottenham Hotspur side.

Key Players to Watch in Tottenham Hotspur vs Wolves

Son Heung-min (Tottenham Hotspur)

If Tottenham Hotspur need to change the tides of the game, they need to make Son take the centre of the stage in this one. The 32-year-old captain is obviously their most high-profile player and is one of the few good performers the side has this time. In 2024-25, he has six goals and five assists in the league so far.

The problem with Son has been his inconsistency in some games, and in those games, Tottenham have suffered miserably. With no other game changer in near sight, he has to be the one who leads by example and make this team return to winning ways.

Matheus Cunha (Wolves)

The Wolves No. 10 has been a top performer this season. It was his magical performance of a goal and an assist against Manchester United that turned the game in their favour. He has scored consecutively for the last three games and would be looking to find the back of the net four times in a row.

He is presently being equipped by gaffer Vitor Pereira as a false 9, and he would dare not to change the role as he is yielding results. This is a crucial game for the side, away from home. Cunha has previously troubled big sides, so he should be looking to do something similar here.  

Tottenham Hotspur vs Wolves United Prediction

Wolverhampton Wanderers F.C. are expected to win this game after a tough fight, despite playing away from home with a weaker squad. They are currently having better form than Tottenham Hotspur, and maybe that will give them an extra edge in this game. Also, the win against Manchester United would boost their morale.
