As Tottenham prepare to host Wolverhampton Wanderers in a clash between two struggling sides, all eyes are on Ange Postecoglou’s faltering team, who find themselves precariously placed in the bottom half of the Premier League table. Can Spurs salvage a win, or will Wolves continue their recent resurgence under Viktor Pereira? Let’s find out how you can watch Tottenham vs Wolves.
The festive season has offered little cheer for Tottenham Hotspur, whose 1-0 loss to Nottingham Forest on Boxing Day marked their ninth league defeat of the campaign.
The City Ground result not only cemented their place in 11th but also pushed them closer to the relegation zone, leaving Postecoglou’s men a mere nine points above the dreaded drop.
A side that began the season with European aspirations is now staring at a very different fight. Wolves, meanwhile, have had their own struggles but appear to be turning a corner.
Viktor Pereira, who took over a few games back, has masterminded back-to-back wins, complete with clean sheets—a feat Wolves had struggled to achieve earlier in the campaign.
Currently sitting in 17th, they remain in danger but have found momentum at a critical juncture.
Tottenham’s recent form, however, offers little hope. With just three points from their last five league matches, and mounting injuries decimating their defence, they now face a Wolves side that is brimming with confidence.
Pereira’s men will undoubtedly see this as an opportunity to claim a third consecutive victory and pile further misery on their London hosts.
The game will take place at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday, December 29, 2024, with kick-off scheduled for 3:00 pm UK time.

Tottenham’s injury crisis deepened after the Forest defeat, with Radu Dragusin, their only fit centre-back, now a doubt for this clash after sustaining a knock. Ben Davies could return, offering a glimmer of hope.
However, the absence of key players like Guglielmo Vicario, Mikey Moore, Cristian Romero, and Micky van de Ven means Spurs are still lacking sufficient squad depth. Richarlison and Djed Spence are also unavailable, the latter due to suspension.
Wolves, on the other hand, have their own set of challenges. Key absentees include Boubacar Traoré (knee injury), Enzo González (cruciate ligament), Pablo Sarabia (calf injury), Saša Kalajdžić (cruciate ligament), and Yerson Mosquera (knee injury).
Looking at the contrasting forms of these two sides, I believe this game will be a tightly contested affair. Wolves, buoyed by their recent successes, seem better equipped to capitalise on Tottenham’s vulnerabilities, particularly in defence.
Tottenham’s recent struggles, coupled with Wolves’ newfound defensive solidity, make it difficult to envisage a high-scoring game.
We predict a narrow 1-0 victory for Wolves. With their confidence growing under Pereira, and Spurs grappling with both form and fitness issues, the visitors could well extend their winning streak to three matches.
Postecoglou must now decide who partners Archie Gray in the heart of the defence.
