Spursvs.Wolves

Ange Postecoglou had been expected to be without each of his four first-choice centre-backs with Radu Dragusin having picked up a knock during the closing stages of the Boxing Day game at Nottingham Forest.

However, the Romania international has passed a fitness test to remain alongside Archie Gray, with Pedro Porro returning to take the spot of the suspended Djed Spence at right-back.

The only other alteration to the team sees Yves Bissouma return in central midfield to take the place of Pape Sarr.

Wolves make three changes

Meanwhile, Wolves head coach Vitor Pereira has decided to freshen up his team by making three changes from the side that started the win over Manchester United.

The most notable switch comes in defence with Toti Gomes missing out on a place in the squad. Craig Dawson gets the nod as his replacement.

Pereira has also opted to make two alterations in the final third, including handing Hwang Hee-chan a start after his match-clinching goal versus the Red Devils.

Jean-Ricner Bellegarde is also recalled with Goncalo Guedes and Jorgen Strand Larsen dropping down to the substitutes' bench.

Matheus Cunha is still awaiting the verdict regarding an Football Association charge for improper conduct after the game with Ipswich Town earlier this month.

With Wolves not hearing any developments from the FA, the Brazil international retains his place in the team and starts down the middle of a front three.

Tottenham Hotspur XI: Forster; Porro, Dragusin, Gray, Udogie; Bissouma, Bentancur; Johnson, Kulusevski, Son; Solanke

Subs: Austin, Reguilon, Dorrington, Sarr, Bergvall, Maddison, Olusesi, Werner, Lankshear

Wolverhampton Wanderers XI: Sa; Semedo, Doherty, Dawson, Bueno, Ait-Nouri; J.Gomes, Andre; Bellegarde, Hwang; Cunha

Subs: Johnstone, Strand Larsen, R.Gomes, Doyle, Forbs, Guedes, Meupiyou, Lima, Pond
