Monday night football drama as Tottenham met Chelsea, will undoubtedly have a dramatic impact on this weekend’s fixtures, as they travel to the Molineux to face Wolves this Saturday. Now second in the league behind Manchester City, Spurs will be travelling without Romero and Udogie, who are suspended, not to mention van de Ven who was taken off injured earlier this week. Fortunately James Maddison seems to have been less impacted by his knock than first thought, so he should be available for selection. So what impact could these missing players have on the potential scoreline?
Having faced each other 17 times before, the stats are closer than some might have expected, with Wolves having won 6 times against Tottenham’s 7 wins, so the game this weekend could see both sides on the same win rate by the time the final whistle is blown. It seems the bookies, however, still favour Spurs to come out on top, with BetVictor having the Tottenham odds sitting at 23/20, meaning a £10 bet would return £21.50, while Wolves odds are out at 85/40, so a £10 wager would payout £31.25, at the time of writing. In fact, despite having several players out of action, 4 of the top 5 goal scorers are Spurs players, including the knocked James Maddison and, of course, Son Heung-Min and Brennan Johnson. Only Hwang Hee-Chan from Wolverhampton Wanderers makes the list, taking 4th spot in the most favourable to score.
So aside from the notable absentees from Spurs line-up, what other names are on the injuries list for both sides. For Wolves, Pedro Neto, Joe Hodge and Hugo Bueno are out with various injuries, but most of their other players are fit for selection. For Tottenham, aside from the aforementioned Romero, Udogie and van de Ven, Perisic, Solomon, Sessegnon and Richarlison are all confirmed absent, so expect to see a very different line-up to the time these teams last met. Whatever happens this weekend, Saturday’s early 12:30 kick-off, could see either Tottenham jump back to the top of the Premier League table, or see Wolves jump up to 11th place with a convincing win, leapfrogging Nottingham Forest, West Ham and Crystal Palace. All the remains is to tune in to watch the game and be sure to keep an eye on the latest Wolves vs Tottenham odds, here at BetVictor, as the game plays out.

After a horror Monday night football against Chelsea, even with an inordinate amount of absentees for the game, expect to see Spurs come out strong, buoyed by what are sure to be inspirational words from manager Ange Postecoglou, and try to net an early goal to restore their place at the helm of the Premier League table.
