Follow live coverage as Tottenham Hotspur face Wolverhampton Wanderers today in the Premier League. Another top-flight season will be covered in full right here with The Independent, as reigning champions Liverpool look to fend off competition from Arsenal, Manchester City and more.
The race for the Champions League places should also be a compelling battle, with a fifth place possible for English teams. Manchester United’s latest rebuild under Ruben Amorim sets expectations high once more after a dismal season last time out.
Meanwhile, it’s Burnley, Leeds United and Sunderland who made it back to the elite after promotion last year and each will have hope they can make it more than a one-year stay. Follow the latest live action from the Premier League below:
Tottenham Hotspur FC 0 - 1 Wolverhampton Wanderers FC
Tottenham Hotspur vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
21:27Bergvall slides in and catches Bellegarde very early indeed after Wolves spread the ball wide, with the Tottenham midfielder shown a deserved yellow card by the referee.
Tottenham Hotspur vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
21:25Wolves also make a change with Jean-Ricner Bellegarde brought on in midfield, replacing the booked Joao Gomes who is clearly unhappy with the decision.
Tottenham Hotspur vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
21:24Pedro Porro also enters the fray in a like-for-like Tottenham change, with Spence the player withdrawn at right-back.
Tottenham Hotspur vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
21:24Thomas Frank rolls the dice with two attack-minded Spurs changes; the first seeing Bentancur replaced by Brennan Johnson.
Tottenham Hotspur vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
21:24A header on from Romero and Richarlison's clever flick releases Simons running into the Wolves box, but he's crowded out by Tchatchoua and Santiago Bueno, and the opening goalscorer slides in to scythe the ball clear.
Tottenham Hotspur vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
21:22The two number sevens collide as Andre barges Simons to the ground to concede a free-kick, but the Brazilian isn't shown the yellow card which his opposite number is demanding.
Tottenham Hotspur vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
21:19A 54th minute goal in the 56th Wolves appearance for Santiago Bueno, whose first in all competitions for the club could prove to be absolutely vital!
Tottenham Hotspur vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
21:17GOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAALLLLL!!!! Wolves lead in North London!!! Tchatchoua's cross from the touchline is headed behind by Romero and Arias swings the ball in from the right. Krejci meets it with a header goalwards which is parried by Vicario, but the loose ball hits Palhinha and Santiago Bueno is on hand to scramble it home and put the under-pressure visitors 1-0 up!
Tottenham Hotspur vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
21:14All three of Kudus’ Premier League assists for Spurs this season have been for Richarlison. It’s the most any player has assisted another so far this term, with only Jack Grealish (four) having more assists overall.
Tottenham Hotspur vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
21:13Santiago Bueno gives away a cheap free-kick to the left-hand side of Wolves' box and Kudus crosses the ball in for Spurs, but his delivery is a poor one which is easily headed clear at the near post.
Tottenham Hotspur vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
21:11Wolves are going into the second half of a Premier League game while not behind for the first time since April last season against Leicester, ending a run of nine successive matches in which they've been trailing at the break.
Tottenham Hotspur vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
21:10Tottenham still lead the way by some distance in our live win probability tracker with a 51.5% chance of victory to Wolves' lowly 16.7%, but the visitors' first-half showing suggested they've still got plenty to offer in the second as Arias gets proceedings back underway.
Tottenham Hotspur vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
21:07Jackson Tchatchoua is also brought on by the Wolves boss in place of Hwang, with Munetsi now likely to move from wing-back into a more advanced position.
Tottenham Hotspur vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
21:07Vitor Pereira makes two changes at half-time for the visitors, with Wolves' yellow-carded captain Doherty replaced by Emmanuel Agbadou in defence.
Tottenham Hotspur vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
21:07Kudus has been Tottenham's creative hub so far, with 0.38 xG accumulated on his own and both of his efforts on goal going close to opening the scoring for Thomas Frank's side. The former West Ham winger is yet to misplace a pass and has already created a big chance, as well as winning five of his nine duels – including three dribbles – and twice turning possession over with two successful tackle attempts.
Tottenham Hotspur vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
21:02There's the half-time whistle, and it's all square between Tottenham and Wolves so far with the sides level at 0-0 going into the break. Spurs were on top in the early stages and generated 0.68 xG in that first half, with Kudus rattling the crossbar from right in front of goal before the Ghanaian and Bergvall again went close with ambitious efforts later in the half. Kudus was also denied by the offside flag after coolly slotting home a potential opener following a one-two with Bergvall, and this opened the door for Wolves to end the first half on top. The visitors managed 0.21 xG and saw Arias go close with two chances from the edge of the box, before former Spurs man Doherty went closer still in stoppage time with a volley which clipped the post on its way behind! All to play for in the second half, and Wolves have certainly given themselves a fighting chance so far.
Tottenham Hotspur vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
20:55HALF-TIME: TOTTENHAM 0-0 WOLVES.
Tottenham Hotspur vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
20:54OFF THE POST!!! Wolves' latest corner is glanced on by Santiago Bueno at the near post and falls for Doherty at the far post off Palhinha, but the former Spurs man can only glance the outside of the upright with his first-time volley!
Tottenham Hotspur vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
20:52BLOCKED!!! Wolves look to spring another counter-charge and a deft touch from Andre allows him to beat Van de Ven and release Arias on the run. He beats Bergvall and Romero before shooting from the edge of the box, but Udogie gets across to block it behind for a corner!
Tottenham Hotspur vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
20:50We're into the first of four added minutes onto the end of an end-to-end first half at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Tottenham Hotspur vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
20:50CHANCE!! Kudus is released down the right again and fires in a superb cross with the outside of his boot. Richarlison is the target as he dives in at the far post, but a deflection off Andre takes the ball beyond him, just past the upright and behind for a corner!
Tottenham Hotspur vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
20:48There's a quick VAR check on the referee's decision of a Wolves free-kick in the aftermath of that chance, but Munetsi won't be penalised for that challenge on Palhinha as play gets back underway.
Tottenham Hotspur vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
20:47SAVED!!! Palhinha's cross-field pass picks out Kudus on the right and he steps inside to fire goalwards, unleashing a powerful strike which Johnstone parries at full stretch before Munetsi catches Palhinha right on the edge of the box!
Tottenham Hotspur vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
20:46OVER!!! That would have been some opener!! A Tottenham corner comes to nothing but the intensity remains high as Kudus crosses in from the right, and Bergvall unleashes an acrobatic one-legged overhead kick which just clears the crossbar!
Tottenham Hotspur vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
20:43Richarlison hits the deck while scrambling to get on the end of that cross with Kudus and is forced to leave the pitch for further treatment, but eventually returns up front to give Spurs their full complement of 11 players.
Tottenham Hotspur vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
20:43Simons sets off on another Spurs counter-attack and cuts inside Andre over halfway before being scythed down by his compatriot Joao Gomes, and the Brazilian goes into the book.
Tottenham Hotspur vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
20:43OVER!!! Santiago Bueno releases Arias into open space down the right and he takes on Udogie before shooting, but his effort from the edge of the box is lashed just over the top of the crossbar!
Tottenham Hotspur vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
20:42The game is halted for both Munetsi and Udogie to receive treatment after awkward challenges, but the pair are soon cleared to continue and we're back underway.
Tottenham Hotspur vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
20:41Spurs play their free-kick quickly and possession comes to Richarlison on the right, but his ball back across the face of goal is a fraction ahead of Bergvall and sails behind for a goal-kick.
Tottenham Hotspur vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
20:38Doherty is dragged out of defence by Simons and then lunges to stop Udogie in his tracks, but he catches the Spurs left-back late and is shown a yellow card by the referee.
Tottenham Hotspur vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
20:37As well as a disallowed goal already in this game, since the start of last season in the Premier League, Kudus has hit the woodwork seven times for Spurs and West Ham – more than any other player.
Tottenham Hotspur vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
20:35Johnstone cliams a poor Spurs corner and sends Wolves away on the counter-attack. Andre and Joao Gomes combine well before Hwang feeds Munetsi, but the Zimbabwean is caught by a sliding Simons before the ball can get to him and Tottenham's number seven goes into the book.
Tottenham Hotspur vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
20:34Spence wraps around the outside of Kudus and fires a first-time cross into the middle, where Van de Ven dives in with a flying header which Santiago Bueno gets in the way of.
Tottenham Hotspur vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
20:33CHANCE!! Udogie is released into space thanks to a one-two with Richarlison and bursts into Wolves' box with the ball, but the Italian takes too long to pick out a pass or shoot, and Doherty slides in to send it behind for a corner!
Tottenham Hotspur vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
20:31BALL IN THE NET!!! The offside flag rules out an absolutely sumptuous Spurs goal!! Kudus links up with Bergvall down the right and receives a return ball via the teenager's back-heel. He goes one-on-one with Johnstone and slots a clinical finish into the far corner, but does so from a clearly offside position and the goal won't stand!
Tottenham Hotspur vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
20:29Arias' delivery from a Wolves corner is headed clear by Simons and comes back to the Colombian, who tees up Hwang in shooting space and watches on as the striker sends a woeful effort high and wide of the target.
Tottenham Hotspur vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
20:27CHANCE!!! Hwang sets off on the break for Wolves but his wide pass for Munetsi is cut out by Udogie. He drives forward on a counter-attack of his own and sends an inside pass towards Bergvall, but a deflection takes the ball away from his path and the Swede can only send a scuffed volley into Johnstone's gloves!
Tottenham Hotspur vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
20:24Palhinha's wide pass deflects into the path of Udogie and his low cross is met by Andre, whose attempted clearance hits a sliding Santiago Bueno in the face and goes behind for a corner!
Tottenham Hotspur vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
20:22Wolves have only lost two of their last eight Premier League visits to Tottenham Hotspur, winning four avoiding defeat in their most recent pair of clashes.
Tottenham Hotspur vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
20:20Wolves have lost all five of their Premier League games this season, with only three sides ever losing each of their first six in a single campaign – Portsmouth in 2009-10, Crystal Palace in 2017-18, and Norwich in 2021-22. Of that trio, only Palace managed to survive relegation by season's end.
Tottenham Hotspur vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
20:18OFF THE BAR!!! Spurs go within inches of the opener!! Simons swings a teasing cross into the box which bounces right in front of Johnstone with Richarlison and Kudus arriving. The Ghanaian meets it with a goalbound header at the far post, but Johnstone reacts brilliantly to parry the ball up off the crossbar and away!
Tottenham Hotspur vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
20:16Udogie fires a cross into Wolves' box which appears to strike the arm of Doherty as it's blocked behind for a corner, but Tottenham's shouts for a penalty are waved away by the referee and the VAR isn't interested either.
Tottenham Hotspur vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
20:13Wolves continue to push high into Spurs' half and Hwang plays a one-two with Hugo Bueno on his way past both Kudus and Spence, before being stopped in his tracks by a well-timed challenge from Palhinha.
Tottenham Hotspur vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
20:12Arias cuts out an Udogie clearance and plays a one-two with Strand Larsen before putting in a cross from the right, which Palhinha blocks behind to give the visitors a corner.
Tottenham Hotspur vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
20:08CHANCE!!! Munetsi overlaps Hwang down the left and puts in a cross from the byline, but neither Strand Larsen nor Arias can get enough contact to steer the ball goalwards and the chance comes to nothing!
Tottenham Hotspur vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
20:06Wolves have made nine changes to the starting XI from their last league game against Leeds – the most by any side from one match to another within the same Premier League season since Manchester United's 10 against Wolves in May 2021.
Tottenham Hotspur vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
20:04CHANCE!! Tottenham cause problems right from the start as Wolves fail to deal with Bergvall's long throw into the box. Simons crosses back in from the right and Udogie plays a ball inside to tee up Van de Ven, but the Dutchman overruns it and the visitors clear their lines!
Tottenham Hotspur vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
20:02Returning midfielder Bergvall kicks the game off for Tottenham, who get proceedings up and running in the capital!
Tottenham Hotspur vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
20:01It’s no surprise to see the hosts as heavy favourites to claim victory in our live probability tracker as the teams head out onto the pitch at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, with Spurs given a 60.0% chance of winning to Wolves’ mere 19.0%. The visitors risk being cut adrift at the bottom of the Premier League table with another defeat, but Wolves will see Tottenham as a team they simply have to beat ahead of kick-off here!
Tottenham Hotspur vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
19:57Vitor Pereira makes a solitary change from Wolves’ EFL Cup win over Everton – with Joao Gomes replacing Jean-Ricner Bellegarde in midfield – but a further nine changes have been made from their most recent Premier League defeat to Leeds, with Gomes and that game's goalscorer Ladislav Krejci the only players to keep their places.
Tottenham Hotspur vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
19:52Tottenham’s starting XI features seven changes from their 3-0 win over League One’s Doncaster in midweek, with Djed Spence the only player to keep his place in a backline which sees Guglielmo Vicario, Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven, Destiny Udogie all return. Mohammed Kudus and Richarlison also come back into the attack, partnering Xavi Simons to complete Spurs’ front three.

19:4120th-placed Wolves already have a mountain to climb if they’re to survive this season’s relegation battle, with five defeats from their five league matches so far, including a 3-1 loss to newly-promoted Leeds last time out. Vitor Pereira’s side did beat Everton 2-0 in midweek to reach the EFL Cup fourth round, and he’ll be hoping that can spur Wolves on to a first Premier League victory.
Tottenham Hotspur vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
19:36Thomas Frank’s start to life at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium has been mixed, with dominant wins over Burnley, Manchester City and West Ham either side of a 1-0 home defeat by Bournemouth.
