Wolves face Tottenham Hotspur this weekend on the back of a mighty run of form.

On the chalkboard

Nuno Espirito Santo’s side are currently sixth in the Premier League table, one point ahead of Spurs and can catapult themselves into contention for the top four places with a win.

They have not lost in 11 games and can strike a major blow against Jose Mourinho’s men on Sunday.

How exactly do Spurs beat them, then?

Per WhoScored, Wolves are most vulnerable through the middle, conceding 63% of their chances through the centre, 19% down the left and 17% down the right.

They are vulnerable in the 18-yard box, conceding 57% of their chances in the box but just 6% in the six-yard box, while 38% of shots come from outside the box.

They attack primarily down the right flank, with 43% of their forays forward coming down Adama Traore’s side, 35% down the left and 22% through the middle.

Wolves are good at defending set-pieces, conceding just three goals from dead-ball situations, with 79% of their goals conceded coming from open play.

A clear line of attack

It’s easy to write and hard to practice but, even still, Spurs have to cut off the supply line down the right flank and try to thread the eye of the needle through the middle.

Thankfully for Mourinho, Dele Alli has been in electric form, scoring three goals and providing two assists in his first four Premier League outings as manager.

Allowing him to play as a No.10 again and giving him the ball makes all the sense in the world.

He is an expert at dropping into pockets of space and could hurt Wolves, while Jan Vertonghen will need to stop Traore down the right flank.

It is simple in theory; it remains to be seen if Spurs can practice it.

Meanwhile, one Spurs star's deficiencies were on full show against Burnley.
