Spurs - LWLWL ------- Wolves - WWWLL
We and Wolves do battle at our Stadium in the Premier League.
We fell to a 3-2 defeat at home to Southampton last time out, while Bruno Lage’s side could not get the better of 10-man Arsenal as they slumped to a 1-0 defeat.
Conte’s fiery touchline exchange did not appear to galvanise us during the visit of Southampton, as he cut a much more dejected figure once the final whistle blew and the Saints dashed over to the away crowd to celebrate with their supporters.
We had twice gone ahead through Bednarek’s own goal and Son's effort but made the fatal mistake of allowing Ward -Prowse too much time on the ball, with the England international's crosses meeting the heads of Elyounouss and Che Adams in a memorable Saints win.
Conte admitted that we were "too emotional" after his own outburst on the night, as the we failed to take advantage of Manchester United's slip-up and remain seventh in the table - four points behind West Ham United with three games in hand.
We have made a bit of a habit of winning one then losing one in recent weeks - which bodes well for this encounter if the pattern continues - but not since the days of Nuno in September have we lost three on the bounce in the Premier League.
We did at least keep up our hot goal scoring streak against Southampton - now finding the back of the net at least twice in their last six home games in the Premier League - but a resolute Wolves defence may very well have the answer to our potent attack.
In a game that was overshadowed by one of the most bizarre red cards that the Premier League has ever seen, Bruno Lage made his frustrations known at the full-time whistle as Arsenal's 10 men held on to a 1-0 to boost their top-four hopes at the expense of Wolves'.
As admirable as their defensive resilience has been in recent times, Wolves' lack of ruthlessness in the final third cost them dear once more, and this weekend's visitors to the capital remain in eighth spot - two points behind Spurs having played a game more.
Back-to-back 1-0 home defeats is hardly what the doctor ordered for Wolves as they try to keep their fleeting top-four hopes alive, but Lage's men travel to North London having won each of their last three Premier League away games and will endeavour to take a leaf out of Southampton's book here.
A penalty from now-Everton playmaker Dele propelled us to a 1-0 win at Molineux earlier in the season after the we won 2-0 at home last term, but we needed penalties to see off the Molineux side in the EFL Cup earlier this season.
The possible introduction of Chiquinho and return of Hwang ought to give Wolves that extra attacking injection needed to make this game count, as our defensive frailties are there to be exposed.
Neither manager will be content with a point, although at least one of us will suffer another setback in our bid for Champions League football

Team News
We are once again expected to work around the absences of Skipp, Tanganga and Dier.
Dier will certainly be considered for a spot in the back three if he is fit enough, and it would not be a surprise to see Conte hand Bentacur his full debut after a disappointing showing from Holjbjerg in midweek.
Kulusevski will also come into contention for his first start if Conte opts to stick with a 3-4-3 setup, but the Italian may elect to beef up the midfield in a 3-5-2 - either one of which would likely see Lucas sacrificed.
Meanwhile, Wolves lost Moutinho to a calf problem just before the Arsenal defeat, and the 35-year-old is unlikely to be risked from the off even if he is passed fit for Sunday.
Hee-Chan returned to the bench in midweek and could earn some minutes here, but Neto, Boly and Mosquera, remain absent through injury.
Chiquinho was a real live wire on his Premier League debut against the Gunners and could demote Trinca to the bench here, while Ait- Nouri will likely start at left-back after Marcal landed heavily on his hip in Thursday's loss.
