Wolves predicted lineup v Tottenham as Gary O’Neil makes brave attacking choice
Wolverhampton Wanderers return to Molineux this weekend as they play host to Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League. Kicking off at half past midday on Saturday, Wolves will be eager to take advantage of a stricken Tottenham side that was hit for four by Chelsea on Monday.
Ange Postecoglou has done a tremendous job to win eight of his first 11 league matches in charge but fresh injuries to James Maddison and Micky van de Ven could change Spurs’ fortunes. Suspensions for Destiny Udogie and Cristian Romero certainly don’t help their case, either.
Wolves won’t be complaining as it has now become arguably the best time of the season so far to play Tottenham. Gary O’Neil’s side are in good form on home soil, too, with five points out of nine against Manchester City, Aston Villa and Newcastle United.
The Old Gold suffered a surprise defeat to Sheffield United last time out and we think O’Neil will respond by changing back to a defensive three. We also reckon there could be a couple of brave switches in midfield and attack. With that in mind, here’s our predicted XI for Saturday.
Errors are beginning to creep back into the goalkeeper’s game but he was in good form against Man City, Aston Villa and Bournemouth
Rotates back into the XI after a rather sloppy performance from Semedo last time out. The pair will be competing all season for one position and this seems like a good time to give Doherty a go, especially against his former team.
The new skipper has worked well on the right side of a back three when called upon and is able to venture out with driving runs
Doesn’t seem to ever put on a bad performance. The 33-year-old is not only a leader at the back but also a great physical presence.

Versatile as ever, Toti slots back into the left of a defensive three as opposed to the left full-back role he occupied in Wanderers’ last two fixtures.
Scored his first goal for the Old Gold on his last home appearance and is probably the best option to act as somewhat of a sweeper in midfield.
Wolves’ £13m summer signing scored off the bench at Sheffield United and deserves to get a place in the XI ahead of Doyle and Gomes
