Tom Robinson
TEAM FORM
Wolves - WWLDL ------ Spurs - LLWWL
Having both suffered lowly midweek defeats, we and Wolves will endeavour to get back on track in Saturday's Premier League contest at Molineux. Julen Lopetequi's crop fell to a 2-0 defeat to Liverpool on Wednesday evening, while our bid to end our 15-year trophy drought became all the more difficult as we lost 1-0 to Sheffield United in the fifth round of the FA Cup.
Spurs
In a tale as old as time, another shot at domestic cup glory has gone begging for us, where we are now seemingly destined to end another season without bolstering our silverware cabinet courtesy of a dampening defeat at Bramall Lane.
Once again led by Stellini as Conte observed from the comfort of his Italian home, a much-changed and lacklustre side succumbed to Ndiaye's winner with 79 minutes on the clock, ending Stellini's perfect record as an interim manager and closing off another avenue to a long-awaited trophy.
We could still be battling for FA Cup supremacy had an illness-affected Kane not sent a header wide with a gilt-edged chance in the dying embers, and the imminent reunion with Conte - who is expected to return to Hotspur Way later this week - will not be one filled with elation following our Sheffield suffering.
On a brighter note, seeing off a humdrum Chelsea side 2-0 last weekend cemented our place in the top four of the Premier League table - four points clear of Newcastle United, who have two games in hand – but we have now lost each of our last three away matches and have little time to recuperate before our next road trip.
We eked out a 1-0 win over Wolves when we met in North London back in August, and not since 2010 have we left Molineux with a defeat to our name, also posting a 1-0 triumph on West Midlands soil last term thanks to a spot kick from our ex-player, Dele Alli.
Wolves
Familiar faces lined up against one another on the field and in the dugouts at Anfield on Wednesday, as Liverpool and Wolves met for the fourth time in 2023 already, with the West Midlands side seeking to emulate their exhilarating 3-0 success over the Reds from a few weeks ago.
However, lightning would not strike twice for Lopetegui's bottom-half battlers, who were handed a reprieve when Nune's opener was ruled out for a foul by Jota on Kilman, but Liverpool continued their assault and netted quickfire strikes through Virgil and Salah in the final 20 minutes.
With a lack of consistency and ruthlessness still plaguing them, Wolves have taken just one point from the last nine on offer in the Premier League and are in danger of being dragged deeper into the relegation dogfight, occupying 15th place in the table and sitting just three points clear of the drop zone.
Lopetegui made no bones about his side's below-par second-half showing at Anfield - claiming that his side "did not deserve anything" from the game - but an intriguing pattern of home form serves as reason for optimism for the disgruntled Molineux faithful.
Indeed, Wolves have followed a pattern of winning one then losing one at home in their last six matches in all tournaments, and with their most recent Molineux encounter ending in a 1-0 loss to Bournemouth, we can prepare for another miserable away day if the footballing omens work against us.
