Tottenham v Wolves: match preview

Tottenham seem to have misplaced their defensive solidity under Antonio Conte in the past few weeks. Having conceded four goals in the Italian’s first eight Premier League games in charge they have shipped eight in the past three, including Wednesday’s 3-2 home defeat to Southampton. The visit of Wolves is probably a welcome one, then, considering only Norwich and Burnley have scored fewer than their 19 this season. Conte could shake things up after back-to-back Premier League defeats by handing debuts to the January signings Rodrigo Bentancur and Dejan Kulusevski, while Bruno Lage may be tempted to give Chiquinho a first start after he impressed as a substitute in Thursday’s 1-0 defeat by Arsenal.
