'Either 4-0 win or 4-0 loss' - Tottenham fans react to Jose Mourinho's decisions ahead of Wolves

Jose Mourinho's team selection for the Premier League game against Wolverhampton Wanderers has been revealed.

Tottenham go into the game just one point ahead of their opponents in the table as both look to put pressure on the teams occupying the Champions League places, with both knowing that a win could take them into fifth position.

Ahead of the game, Mourinho has made some big selection decisions when naming his starting lineup.

Club captain Hugo Lloris has been ruled out of the match with injury meaning  that Paulo Gazzaniga retakes his place in goal, and midfielder Harry Winks wears the captain's armband.

Eric Dier and Dele Alli have also come into the team, while defender Toby Alderweireld drops to the bench with Japhet Tanganga and Davinson Sanchez partner up in the middle of defence.

With Harry Kane and Son Heung-min still out through injury, teenage striker Troy Parrott has been named as a substitute for the first time in the Premier League since his league debut when he came on for the final five minutes of the 5-0 win against Burnley back in December.

Upon the announcement of the team, Spurs fans have taken to social media to give their reaction. And there is a mixed review of the head coach's choices.

A win would take Tottenham to within two points of Chelsea in fourth place, and above Manchester United should they fail to beat Everton.

Manchester City's two-year ban from the Champions League is subject to an appeal at the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) but should it stand, then it opens up Champions League qualification to the team that finish the season in fifth place.

There is currently up to eight teams in the race for qualification including Tottenham, Wolves, Manchester United and Everton.
