Wolves V Spurs - Win, Lose or Draw

Wolves a team that have 2 wins and a draw to their name this season.  Wolves started the season with a 2-1 win over Blackburn away from home, followed with a 2-0 home win against Fulham, as many Spurs fans will be aware it will be hard to break down a Fulham side home or away under Martin Jol.  Then a bore draw at Aston Villa, Wolves will be happy just to pick up some more away points.

Spurs couldn't have faced a harder start to the league season.  A match with Everton that was postponed due to the riots.  A 3-0 loss away from home against Manchester United, which is not a true reflection on the game.  Then a 5-1 loss at home to Manchester City, lets forget this happened.

What can we expect this weekend?

Well lets put this into perspective, Spurs have lost to 1st Place in the League and 2nd Place in the league, Manchester United Premier League Champions and Champions League Finalists last year.  A team that have added good young English players and Spanish young goalkeeper, a team that never really performed to their full potential last year.  Very worrying for the rest of the Premier League and Europe.  Then Manchester City who have bought a team of superstars and they just keep adding to it.  Manchester City's sole intention?  To buy the Premier League.  With the array of talent that Man City now possess this is entirely possible, but not this season.

Wolves have played teams that are not full of superstars, teams that could be considered as mid table or will be fighting for relegation come the end of the season.  Fair play to Wolves, you can only beat what is front of you.  They do have in the favour 3 good results this season and a good record against Spurs in the Premier League over the last few seasons.  They will be buoyed by this.

My Prediction

Spurs to WIN 3-1, I think that both teams will start very nervously.  Spurs will be wanting to ensure they pick up some points this weekend and Wolves will be apprehensive with the way that Spurs may play, probably expecting Spurs to come flying out the traps.

I think that the new signings of Adebayor and Parker will bring something different to the team.  2 players that will be looking to prove a point.  Modric will be out to prove a point as well, especially as Chelsea have said they probably would not come back for him in January and he will be out to show him why they should.  Defoe will be looking to get some goals to his name, after being over looked for both England games and he showed last season he can score at Molineux.  I am expecting a bounce back and the first 3 points of the season.

My team prediction: Friedal, Walker, Dawson, Kaboul, Ekotto, Lennon, Parker, Modric, Bale, Adebayor, Defoe.
