Saturday 29th December 2018

England Premier League
Saturday 29th December 2018
Kick off at 3pm GMT
Venue: Wembley Stadium

Match Preview:

When Tottenham roared past Bournemouth on Boxing Day with a 5-0 crushing win and Manchester City lost to Leicester there was a minor power shift, and if you have been following the Premier League for many years, you should have felt it.

Tottenham the Premier League pretenders moved past Manchester City the Premier League champions into 2^nd place and it felt richly deserved. Spurs now have 45 points and are 6 points behind Liverpool. They will be the odds on favourites to win this game which would be their 16^th this season if successful.

Form has been outstanding with five wins in a row and Mauricio Pochettino and Jurgen Klopp have their own battle to see who will get Premier League manager of the month, surely it will be between these two.

Tottenham have won 4 games in a row at Wembley and scored 12 goals in those matches. Son is on absolute fire and their are goals all over the team as they look to continue their brilliant form so far this season.

Wolves have been struck down by inconsistency where they are having small pockets of success without being able to sustain it. They started the season off so well and then played like a relegation threatened team. But last month they put together a string of wins only to dip once more. Their latest game ended 1-1 against Fulham. They come here with just 1 win in their last 4 away games, but they did recently draw 1-1 away to Arsenal.

Team News:

Tottenham: Dele Alli will be assessed ahead of this game after his hamstring injury. Serge Aurier could return to the squad after shaking off a muscle injury

Wolves: Diogo Jota is the big loss for Wolves, but he is recovering well and is 50/50 for this game. He is the only major injury concern for the team

Tottenham vs Wolves Head to Head:

The teams have not met each other in London since 2012 where the game ended 0-0.

Earlier this season Tottenham won 3-2.

Wolves have not beaten Tottenham in any game since 2010.

Tottenham vs Wolves Prediction:

Banana skins and football go together like Morecombe and Wise (for our older readers). The problem with Tottenham is that history says once they have made a statement like going to 2^nd in the league they will slip up. However Pochettino has changed so much at the club, their philosophy and outlook just feels different and it seems foolish to back anything but a good Tottenham win. So we will join their wave of success and side with the home team.
