Wolves vs Tottenham
Premier League 2018/19
Venue: Molineux
Date: Saturday, 3 November
Kick-off: 7:45pm BST
Tottenham face a tough test as they head to the Midlands to face an impressive Wolves side at Molineux on Saturday.
Mauricio Pochettino's Spurs lost their last Premier League outing - a 1-0 home defeat to champions Manchester City - but are only five points off the top of the table after 10 games, and returned to winning ways with a 3-1 EFL Cup victory at West Ham.
Nuno Espirito Santo's newly-promoted Wolves have made a strong start to the campaign, but have lost their last two games to take the shine off what was quickly becoming a perfect top-flight return.
While both sides go into Saturday's late game off the back of League defeats, Spurs should not expect an easy ride from a Wolves team who have taken points off both Manchester United and Man City already this term.

The forward is sidelined with a minor problem, although boss Nuno Espirito Santo refused to reveal the exact issue.
Jota was a substitute in last week's 1-0 defeat to Brighton, meaning Wolves may yet be unchanged.
Tottenham will be without Eric Dier and Danny Rose at Wolves.
The England pair have respective thigh and groin injuries and will not play before the international break.
Victor Wanyama (knee) and Jan Vertonghen (hamstring) continue to miss out.
