Tottenham confirmed team vs Wolves - Four changes as Bissouma and Emerson start, Bentancur sub
Ange Postecoglou has made four changes to his Tottenham team to take on Wolves at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday afternoon. Victorious one week ago with a very late win over Brighton & Hove Albion, Spurs will be looking to secure another three points to boost their Champions League chances.
The Lilywhites will also be aiming to get one over Wolves after falling to a stoppage-time defeat at Molineux back in November following two goals at the death. After making his return to the team from the bench last weekend against Brighton following his Asian Cup exploits, Son Heung-min is back in the Spurs starting XI and captains the side.
The 31-year-old replaces Timo Werner in attack, thus seeing him join Richarlison and Dejan Kulusevski in the frontline. Postecoglou has been forced to make two changes in defence with injured duo Pedro Porro and Destiny Udogie facing a short spell on the sidelines.
Emerson Royal starts at right-back, with Ben Davies getting the nod in place of Udogie on the opposite side. That means January signing Radu Dragusin continues on the bench.
Yves Bissouma also comes back into the team after his recent absence due to Mali's participation in the Asian Cup. The ex-Brighton man replaces Rodrigo Bentancur in the middle of the park.
Having not featured since the FA Cup win over Burnley at the beginning of January due to injury, Giovani Lo Celso has been included in the matchday squad after making a full recovery.
