Tottenham will be looking to overcome recent H2H demons when they take on Wolves, who are yet to earn a single point in the Premier League this season.
Match News and Current Form
Tottenham had to fight back from a 2-0 deficit to rescue a point away at Brighton last round (2-2), but earned praise from a very encouraged Thomas Frank who described it as the “most complete performance” of his brief tenure. Improvement under Frank is already evident, illustrated by their ten points in five games being twice as many as his predecessor Ange Postecoglou earned in his final 12 league games in charge. Another victory appears to be on the cards here, because not only were they far too good for lower-ranked Burnley (3-0) and West Ham (3-0) earlier this season, Tottenham are on a 15-game unbeaten league run against sides starting the day bottom of the table (W12, D3).
Wolves are stumbling into unwanted territory and could become just the fourth club of the Premier League era to lose their first six matches of a new season, though that wouldn’t necessarily spell the end of their top-flight journey with Crystal Palace surviving such a start in 2017/18. A 2-0 victory over Everton in the League Cup in midweek helped ease the pain of a 3-1 reverse against newly-promoted Leeds last week, while Vítor Pereira’s men have been far more competitive on the road where their two defeats against Newcastle and Bournemouth both came via slender 1-0 scorelines.
Head-to-Head History
Wolves have been Tottenham’s bogey club in recent seasons, winning five of the last seven H2Hs (D1, L1). They’ve remained solid in away meetings too, losing just two of their last eight Premier League visits to Spurs (W4, D2).
