Cunha, and Hee-Chan if unavailable, will be big misses for Wolves. Udogie and Porro are out for Tottenham so Tottenham are likely to be less dynamic in their build up. Bentancur has been off it for the last four games (e.g. uncharacteristically giving the ball away). It seems like he hasn't fully recovered from his injury so may be rotated out for Hojbjerg. However, Tottenham should still have enough at home to secure the three points. Tottenham to score via Son (penalty), Werner (scuffed shot), and Maddison (mid range shot) and Wolves to score from a late corner (see below). Tottenham 3-1 Wolves
Wolves have scored 7 goals in the that 15 minutes (that includes 2 against Tottenham) when otherwise they haven't scored more than 3 in any 15 minutes period. Tottenham have conceded 11 goals in the last 15 minutes, 4 more goals than any other 15 minute period. Therefore, if past behavior is any indicator of future behavior expect Wolves to make some good chances late on and score at least one.
I've been writing that Tottenham could be vulnerable from corners but it's only in the last four games that other teams have seriously pressured (or even sneakily obstructed) Vicario. Romero, VdV etc. have so far not adequately responded to this issue so it's likely Wolves will get a goal from a corner.
Porro's threat from corners missed today.
Hee-Chan played for 88 minutes and played very well. It's possible that reports of his injury status were somewhat exaggerated.
0-1 final score
@footballover It was never going to stay 0-1 with the way Tottenham attack and the way Wolves counter.

@MEHJones Be more precise please
@neumi17 I did write that Wolves would score from a corner ;)
