“They will definitely WIN the game with no doubt”- Chris Sutton predicts result of Premier League clash between Tottenham and Wolves. Can’t believe his take on Spurs
Tottenham Hotspur will be eager to return to winning ways when they host Wolverhampton Wanderers at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday.
Spurs have lost their last two matches and are grappling with a severe defensive crisis, as three centre-backs are sidelined with injuries, and another is a doubt for the game.
They will face a Wolves side who have experienced a positive lift under new manager Vitor Pereira, securing victories over Leicester City and Manchester United.
BBC Sport pundit Chris Sutton discussed Tottenham’s current struggles and shared his prediction for Sunday’s Premier League match.
Chris Sutton Predicts Spurs to Edge Out Wolves 2-1
Sutton acknowledged Tottenham’s defensive issues, noting that manager Ange Postecoglou appeared “deflated” following their defeat to Nottingham Forest. Despite this, Sutton backed Spurs to “find a way to win” and predicted a narrow 2-1 victory for the hosts.
“Ange Postecoglou sounded a bit deflated after Tottenham’s loss at Nottingham Forest,” Sutton said on BBC Sport. “While I still think he’s done a lot for the Premier League, he certainly needs a positive result or two. The fact that he’s so short of fit centre-backs isn’t helping, and he’s mentioned this is the worst injury crisis he’s ever faced as a manager.
“Ange will have to make do, but this game now looks much harder than it would have a couple of weeks ago. Wolves have won both games under their new manager Vitor Pereira, and after conceding many goals under Gary O’Neil, they’ve now kept two clean sheets.
“Despite the defensive issues, I’m still backing Spurs to win. They didn’t score against Forest but created chances, and at home, I think they’ll find a way to get the result.”
Team News for Tottenham vs Wolves
Tottenham defender Radu Dragusin sustained an ankle injury against Nottingham Forest and will undergo a late fitness test before the Wolves match. Ben Davies, meanwhile, will be out for an extended period after suffering a setback in his hamstring recovery during training.
Other injured Spurs players include Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven, Guglielmo Vicario, Mikey Moore, Richarlison, and Wilson Odobert, while Djed Spence is suspended. Given the severe defensive shortage, Postecoglou might even consider including Alfie Dorrington in the starting XI.
For Wolves, Mario Lemina could return after missing Pereira’s first two games due to a calf injury. However, Pablo Sarabia is likely to miss out again because of his ongoing calf issue, and long-term absentees include Yerson Mosquera, Boubacar Traore, Enso Gonzalez, and Sasa Kalajdzic.
