Team news

Antonio Conte will be delighted to be a couple of players away from having a full-strength squad.

However, Oliver Skipp's hairline fracture on his heel is expected to keep the midfield maestro out.

Whilst summer signing Clement Lenglet's adductor issue continues to cause him trouble and will need to be assessed ahead of the match.

Elsewhere, Wolves boss Bruno Lage will more than likely be without talisman Raul Jimenez and Chiquinho yet again.

But there could be a return for Joao Moutinho who picked up a knock against Leeds on the opening day.

    Reaping the rewards of season

    Tottenham go into this season knowing the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium will be hosting the elite football tournament that every Premier League club craves.

    Champions League football returns to North London.

    Having pipped rivals Arsenal to fourth spot last season, the club will be able to challenge itself at the highest level, Conte will not want his side to be 'also-rans'.

    Bright outlook in North London

    Having made such a good start to their campaign, the future seems bright under the leadership of Antonio Conte.

    The squad has a wealth of international talent, with a sprinkling of world-class talent, giving fans reason to be positive about what they can achieve this season.

    Having gained a creditable draw at Stamford Bridge, it is important to not drop points against a side who they would be expected to beat.

    Home is where the heart is

    The Tottenham manager gave his thoughts on today's game against Bruno Lage's Wolves:

    At home, it's very important to create the right atmosphere to make it difficult for our opponent. It will be a difficult game against Wolves but, at the same time, we are ready to play a good game in front of our fans.

    Punchy game at the bridge

    Antonio Conte will not be in the dugout today following his red card at the end of the game against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.

    Conte and Tuchel were encountered in a few fiery confrontations as tempers ran high in the game.

    The Italian manager will be demanding some of the grit and fire he shows in their performances this season.

    Strike it lucky

    Wolves cashed in on young England midfielder, Morgan Gibbs-White, this week after accepting a deal worth a reported £42.5m.

    Having added Goncalo Guedes and Matheus Nunes, it remains to be seen if the club will spend any further in this transfer window.

    Fans will be hoping they can bring in another striker, an area they are a bit light of cover in.

    Welcome to Tottenham vs Wolves

    Tottenham host Wolves today looking to extend their unbeaten start to their Premier League campaign which has seen them climb to fourth in the table.

    Antonio Conte continues his evolution of this Tottenham squad, having now been able to put his own stamp on things by making signings, the Italian manager will be looking for big things from his players this season.

    Cristian Romero, who has played every minute of the opening two games, will miss out for Spurs today due to a muscle injury so Conte will need to make some change in the defensive line.

    Providing there are no other injury concerns, that is likely to be the only change with new signing Richarlison having  to settle for a place on the bench.

    Oliver Skipp is making good progress in his comeback from a hairline fracture of his heel but this game will come too soon for him.

    Goncalo Guedes may be considered for a start for Wolves, following the sale of Morgan Gibbs-White to Nottingham Forest.

    Nelson Semedo, Joao Moutinho and Adama Traore are not likely to start as they make their own comebacks from injury.

    Matheus Nunes will start on the bench having had only two days to train with his new teammates.
