25th. week of English Premier League is playing this weekend and Tottenham Hotspur host Wolverhampton Wanderers. Situation in North London club is not ideal. Almost all players were ready to play last week and tomorrow two very important players like left back Destiny Udogie and right back Pedro Porro will not be available. Young Italian gets injured after crash with Romero during Brighton game, but according to Ange it shouldn't be bad injury. Pedro Porro got injured on training and according to Spurs coach will be out of action for couple of weeks. Wolves have their own blow because one excellent player Cunha is out with serious injury.
Situation on the table is saying Tottenham is in heavy top 4 fight at the moment, while Wolves are in mid table without big chance to grab European spot and far away from struggling teams who fight against relegation. It looks like North London side should have bigger motivation for this game, but let's not forget that Wolves play the best against the biggest teams. They won Manchester City, almost got draw vs United, battered Liverpool at home in first half and won Tottenham on their ground with two late goals without their best player Pedro Neto who will play football tomorrow. This brilliant and very quick player has to be main concern for Tottenhamd defence. The way how they humiliated Chelsea two weeks ago should be alarm bell against under estimating this very good side which play fast free flow football.
If Tottenham players want to grab 4th place they need to play better than in recent games. With in form Manchester United just 6 points behind every dropped point can be crucial in that fight. There is no luxury to start playing in second half or when Wolves take a lead. Serious play must start from the beginning. Spurs are not playing next weekend because game against Chelsea has been postponed because they play League Cup final against Liverpool next weekend. So there is no need to "save strength". Right smart moving on the pitch, runs in right time where and when we should, opening for passes, quick right time releasing of the ball, variety of football actions and a lot of created chances is what fans want to see tomorrow.
It will be interesting how will Ange set up defense. Will it be classic Davies left and Royal right or something else like pacy Van de Ven left and Dragusin on his place, or maybe Royal left and Dragusin right ? Other dilemma is will Bentancur who was not in the best form in last couple of matches start or will Bissouma start ? There are no much dilemma forward. It will be Son, Richarlison, Kulusevski. I just hope Deki can start playing in first half and will not wait until start of second half to start playing.
I expect very entertaining game with a lot of chances hopefully more in front of Wolves goal and of course goals. If I need to predict result I'd say 3:2 for Tottenham. My expected lineup: Vicario, Royal, Romero, Van de Ven, Davies, Bissouma, Sarr, Maddison, Son, Richarlison, Kulusevski. As Always I expect the most from Madders and Son so I can see Madders, Son, Richarlison, Neto and Hwang on scoreboard. Very important 3 points are on the table. It's important to win whenever we can. Let's do it tomorrow! Don't let hungry Wolves lead by Neto and Hwang eat us like they did Chelsea! Remember that bad feeling of dropped 3 points in last minutes in Wolverhampton and take some revenge! COYS!
