Nuno Espirito Santo began his Tottenham tenure with an impressive winning start over the weekend, defeating last season's Premier League champions by a goal to nil.
His difficult early schedule at Spurs will continue on Sunday as he meets his former employers, who are set to host his return to Molineux after his Wolves spell ended last season.
Espirito Santo will come up against players he knows well, with Adama Traore amongst the names who flourished and improved under his leadership having progressed from a raw talent to a regular starter.
Traore is renowned for his specific offensive qualities and Espirito Santo was the man to present him with a suitable platform to showcase what he can do in England's top-flight, having deployed him as a winger, wing-back and forward during his time in charge.
The Spanish international is unique, but based on Nuno's first match as Spurs boss - against Manchester City - Lucas Moura could be the player to assume the Traore role at Spurs.
The Brazilian was deployed as part of a front three for Nuno, and he acted as an outlet for his team by leading counter-attacks, escaping pressure moments and driving his teammates towards goal.
He completed four dribbles during the match which ranked him behind only three players in the Premier League over the weekend - one of whom was Traore - and he placed 15th for progressive distance covered (excluding defenders), which covers the total number of yards that a player moved the ball towards the opponent's goal.
The response of Guardiola's team was to foul him more often than not, with the 29 year-old drawing four fouls during the match which placed him behind only Wilfried Zaha, Jack Grealish and Ismaila Sarr.
Moura's performance against Pep Guardiola's men could have been a product of the tactical make-up of the contest, with Spurs adopting a counter-attacking style of play against City's possession-based approach, but he offered Traore-like skills throughout.
Wolves represent a different type of opposition to overcome this weekend, but with Traore highly likely to start, Moura and Nuno will be coming up against the real thing.
