Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Tottenham Hotspur 
Last weekend’s match with Aston Villa ended in a frustrating draw for Spurs but a new week brings a fresh challenge and that’s where the team is focused on right now.
First up is the EPL match against Wolves and with the 1-0 loss to them at White Hart Lane in December fresh in our minds, nothing less than 3 points will do tonight. This is even more critical now that Manchester City has leapfrogged us in league position after their win at Bolton last night.
Wolves will be without four players for Wednesday’s match as David Edwards, Andy Keogh and Michael Kightly are all ruled out with ankle injuries, while Stefan Maierhofer is also sidelined. They have not won a match since their win at Burnley and have lost to Man City, Wigan, Liverpool and Birmingham.
Spurs have kept clean sheets in 5 league games since that loss to Wolves but we have not been able to slice and dice up the opponents without the speedy Lennon creating havoc on the wings. Pavlyuchenko should be back in the squad while Ledley King will be rested ahead of the weekend’s FA Cup match against Bolton. An Eidur Gudjohnsen sighting should be on the cards as well as Redknapp will try to keep the squad fresh for the FA Cup clash, yet knowing that a win tonight is crucial if we want to keep pace with the Top 4 teams.
COYS!
