The term ‘six-pointer’ has never applied more than it does here for Tottenham. They threw away another lead in the dying moments against Brighton last time out, conceding a 95th minute equaliser due to a mistake by Kevin Danso. Tottenham had more bad news during the week as well as Leeds struck in the 97th minute at Bournemouth to move nine points clear of the drop zone.
Tottenham saw four goals against Brighton at home last time out, and are likely to have many chaotic games between now and the end of the season. They take on a Wolves side that has seen 3+ goals in each of their last five Premier League matches, and have all but been relegated from the top flight. They’ve conceded 3+ goals in each of their last two games, against Leeds and West Ham - applying a benchmark for Tottenham to match if they want to survive this season.
Four of the last five head to head meetings between these sides has seen 3+ goals, so goals are common in this fixture - and it takes on an extra sense of importance for the North London side who simply cannot afford to walk away with anything other than all three points as the pressure increases on the Lilywhites and Roberto De Zerbi at the bottom of the table.
