Revenge is in order in N17 on Saturday as Tottenham Hotspur welcome Wolverhampton Wanderers to their wondrous amphitheatre.

Spurs were dealt a killer blow in the reverse fixture as Wolves twice struck at the death to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat.

Saturday’s visitors have enjoyed a fine season under Gary O’Neil thus far, while Spurs are aiming to secure a top-four spot having climbed back up the table after the last-gasp win over Brighton.

Here’s how Ange Postecoglou could set his Tottenham team up for Wolves’ visit on Saturday.

GK: Guglielmo Vicario – After enduring a difficult outing at Everton, Vicario was excellent against Brighton last weekend, making a couple of standout saves in the first half.

RB: Emerson Royal – With Pedro Porro nursing a muscle injury, the Brazilian is likely to come into the starting lineup.

CB: Cristian Romero – The rugged Argentine is a sure bet to continue in the side.

CB: Micky van de Ven – Wolves’ transition threat with Hwang Hee-Chan and Pedro Neto means Van de Ven has a key role to play at the weekend.

LB: Ben Davies – Similar to Porro, Udogie has sustained a knock and has been ruled out by Postecoglou this weekend.

DM: Yves Bissouma – Rodrigo Bentancur has struggled in the deeper midfield role, so Postecoglou should welcome Bissouma back to the starting XI for the first time since mid-December.

CM: Pape Matar Sarr – Sarr celebrated his return to the starting lineup by scoring the equaliser last weekend. The midfielder has enjoyed a quite superb campaign in north London.

CM: James Maddison – That’s right, the stellar midfield trio that spearheaded Tottenham’s prolific start to the campaign are set to reunite for the first time since November this weekend. Maddison has continued from where he left off since returning from injury.

RW: Dejan Kulusevski – Despite Brennan Johnson’s heroics last week, Kulusevski is more likely to get the nod against Wolves.

ST: Richarlison – It was a rare dry occasion for Richarlison last time out as he failed to get on the scoresheet against the Seagulls. Still, the Brazilian will resume his role as Spurs’ #9.

LW: Son Heung-min – The South Korean superstar was back off the bench last weekend and is a sure bet to start on Saturday despite Timo Werner enjoying a bright start to his Spurs career.
