Wolverhampton Wanderers travel to Wembley on Saturday to take on Tottenham Hotspur in a Premier League clash, and Nuno Espirito Santo must make two changes to his starting XI.
Wolves rescued a point last time out in a 1-1 draw against a struggling Fulham side, with rare starter Romain Saiss netting an 85th-minute equaliser at Craven Cottage.
Nuno’s men return to London on Saturday to take on a Spurs side which has been on fire recently, with Mauricio Pochettino’s side scoring 11 goals in their last two matches – wins over Everton and Bournemouth.
In goal, Rui Patricio must retain his place.
In defence, Ryan Bennett, Conor Coady and Willy Boly must also keep their places, with that trio having been virtually ever-present for Wolves this season.
At wing-back, both Matt Doherty and Jonny Castro must remain in place, with both players offering a crucial outlet in attack while providing cover at the back.
One change must come in midfield with Saiss unlucky to be axed after his goalscoring display against Fulham, with Ruben Neves coming into the side. Joao Moutinho and Morgan Gibbs-White should keep their spots alongside.
The second and final change must come in attack, with the wasteful Adama Traore replaced by key forward Helder Costa alongside Raul Jimenez.
Overcoming a red-hot Spurs side will be a tough ask for Wolves, but this is an XI which can spring a surprise in the Premier League on Saturday.
