Tottenham Hotspur have made an impressive start under new boss Thomas Frank and should keep the feelgood factor going when rock-bottom Wolverhampton Wanderers come calling.

The Dane inherited a side that finished fourth bottom of the Premier League last season but now has Spurs sitting third in the table after five games of the new campaign.

Frank has also steered his side to a win in their opening Champions League fixture, with predecessor Ange Postecoglou securing a seat at Europe's top table by winning the Europa League.

Fans are now dreaming of a top-four push this season and if Tottenham are to achieve that goal then they need to pick up maximum points from games like this.

Vitor Pereira comfortably saved Wolves from the drop last term but suffered a major blow in the summer when star players Matheus Cunha and Rayan Ait-Nouri were sold.

They haven't been replaced with players of similar quality and the Molineux men have yet to pick up a Premier League point.

Last weekend's 3-1 home to loss to promoted Leeds has set alarm bells ringing and Pereira desperately needs to build on their midweek win over Everton in the EFL Cup to spark the season into life.

How the bookies view it: Another mauling for Wolves

With Pereira's side in such dismal form, it's no surprise to see them as 11/2 outsiders with BoyleSports. Tottenham are just 1/2 and the draw pays 16/5.

Recent head to head: Spurs out to end the curse

Wolves fans can take some heart from their side's recent record in this fixture as they're unbeaten in their last five against Spurs.

Four of those games have ended in wins, including a 4-2 triumph at Molineux last term. That came after a 2-2 draw in London.

Players to watch: Simons set to shine

Xavi Simons played a bit part in Tottenham's second-half revival as a sub at Brighton and that should earn him a start for this one. The Dutch midfielder is 7/4 for a goal at BoyleSports and 5/2 at Bet365 for an assist.

Jorgen Strand Larsen wasn't fit enough to start last weekend for Wolves but got the nod in midweek against Everton. The big Norwegian is 11/4 to add to his two-goal tally this season.

Probable line-ups

Tottenham still have a few players sidelined, with Dejan Kulusevski, Dominic Solanke, Radu Dragusin, James Maddison and Yves Bissouma set to miss out again.

Wolves have a healthier squad, with just Leon Chiwome missing out through injury.

Tottenham Hotspur: Vicario, Porro, Van de Ven, Romero, Spence, Palhinha, Sarr, Bergvall, Simons, Kudus, Richarlison.

Wolverhampton Wanderers: Johnstone, Agbadou, Mosquera, T Gomes, Krejci, Bueno, Andre, J Gomes, Hwang, R Gomes, Strand Larsen.

Anything else catch the eye?

The biggest problem for Wolves this season has been a leaky defence, with Pereira's side conceding two or more goals in four of their games.

Spurs have been looking pretty slick in attack so combining the home win with over 2.5 goals looks decent at 6/5 with BoyleSports.

Wolves midfielder Joao Gomes has been good value for cards, with the Brazilian picking up 11 yellows and a red last term. He has already been booked twice this term so looks worth a punt at 13/8 with Bet365 for a card.

Strand Larsen always puts himself about and has committed two or more fouls in two of this three Premier League outings this season. He's 11/10 at Bet365 for over 1.5 fouls in this one.
