Wolves Predicted Lineup vs Spurs as the Hosts Look for Fourth Win in a Row
How Wolves Have Lined Up Recently
Vítor Pereira has consistently stuck with his 3-4-2-1 formation, which has yielded results for the West Midlands club. Wolves have stuck with the same starting lineup for the past three games with José Sá between the sticks, a back three of Matt Doherty, Emmanuel Agbadou, and Toti Gomes.

A midfield four consists of Nélson Semedo, João Gomes, André, and Rayan Aït-Nouri, with a forward line comprised of Marshall Munetsi, Jørgen Strand Larsen, and Jean-Richner Bellegarde. This consistent lineup has paid off with three wins in a row, one clean sheet and four goals from Strand Larsen.
Wolves Recent Form And Tactics
Under Manager Pereira, Wolves have adopted a pragmatic approach, focusing on defensive solidity and quick transitions. For the first time since December 2023, the team has secured three back-to-back wins, including victories over Southampton, West Ham, and Ipswich. These victories have helped Wolves move 12 points above the relegation zone.

Striker Strand Larsen played a pivotal role in Matheus Cunha’s absence, scoring four goals. Tactically Wolves have rigidly stuck to the 3-4-2-1 formation to maintain structure and discipline. The duo of Gomes and André in the middle of the pitch has provided defensive cover and facilitated swift counter-attacks. Despite challenges earlier in the season, the team’s recent performances indicate a cohesive unit capable of competing more effectively in the Premier League.
Injuries And Suspensions To Consider
Cunha returns from suspension, although Pereira has confirmed he will not go straight into the starting lineup. At the pre-match press conference, he said, “What is fair? It’s fair to keep going with the same team. That is my opinion. This is football; this is commitment, leadership. Matheus will come to help us. He understands. I had a conversation with him, but I will play the same team.” Pedro Lima has twisted his ankle in training and will not be available for selection. Enso Gonzalez, Sasa Kalajdzic, Yerson Mosquera, and Leon Chiwome remain on the sidelines with long-term injuries.
