Tottenham v Wolves

Saturday 3pm

Taking on Tottenham may seem like madness after red-hot Spurs scored 11 goals in two matches either side of Christmas but Wolves can make life difficult for the title challengers at Wembley.

Spurs have sizzled in wins over Everton (6-2) and Bournemouth (5-0), although both opponents were wide-open which allowed Harry Kane and Heung-Min Son to cause havoc.

Wolves struggled against Fulham last time out in a game that did not suit their counter-attacking qualities. Nuno's men are quite at home facing the big boys and enjoying the freedom to break on opponents.

Wanderers have drawn at home to Manchester City and beaten Chelsea, while holding Arsenal and Manchester United on their travels.

It's been a busy time for Mauricio Pochettino's injury-hit team too with Tottenham reaching the Champions League last 16 and the League Cup semi-finals.

Recommendation
Wolves +1.5 Asian handicap
1pt 9-11 188Bet
