Premier League 2024-25: Tottenham-Wolverhampton, the likely lineups

Tottenham-Wolverhampton, probable formations

Tottenham arrives at the halfway mark of the 2024-25 Premier League with a disappointing record: 23 points won in 19 matches. A haul that does not meet expectations, considering the progress shown last season under Australian coach Ange Postecoglou. Spurs currently occupy the 12th position in the standings, the result of a negative period marked by four defeats in the last five matches. Among them, weigh the 3-6 suffered by Liverpool and the 1-0 inflicted by Nottingham Forest on Boxing Day. Despite having the second best attack in the league with 39 goals scored, the Londoners are paying dearly for a defense that is too vulnerable, with 26 goals conceded, which threatens to compromise the entire season and leave them out of European competitions.

On the’other side, Wolverhampton seems to have found a new identity with the arrival of Vitor Pereira on the bench. The Portuguese coach immediately restored confidence and solidity to his players, achieving two consecutive victories against Leicester (0-3) and Manchester United (2-0), without conceding goals. Six points that allowed Wolves to momentarily exit the relegation zone and look forward to the rest of the season with greater optimism. Although aware of the difficulties that await them, the black-and-golds seem ready to give battle to keep their category.

The challenge between Tottenham and Wolverhampton, scheduled for Sunday at 4 p.m., represents an important crossroads for both teams. Spurs have an obligation to win to lift their spirits and stay hooked on the European race, while Wolves will try to confirm the progress they have shown recently.

Probable lineups

Tottenham (4-2-3-1): Forster; Pedro Porro, Gray, Dorrington, Udogie; Bergvall, Bissouma; Kulusevski, Maddison, Son; Solanke.
Wolverhampton (3-4-2-1): José Sa; Doherty, S. Bueno, Toti Gomes; Semedo, André, Joao Gomes, Ait-Nouri; Gonçalo Guedes, Cunha; Strand Larsen.
