Wolves vs. Tottenham lineups, predicted starting 11, confirmed team news, injuries: Cunha back to face Spurs

Tottenham’s forgettable Premier League season is winding to an end as they prepare to face Wolves at Molineux.

Ange Postecoglou’s side drew 1-1 in the first leg of their UEFA Europa League quarterfinal against Eintracht Frankfurt on Thursday.

Spurs are 14 points shy of the Premier League’s European qualification places and 17 above the relegation places, a predicament that underlines how their entire season hinges upon next week’s events at Deutsche Bank Park.

This situation feels like an opportunity for Wolves, who have pulled clear of danger with three consecutive wins. If they extend that streak to four on Sunday, they will be just two points behind Spurs.

Star forward Matheus Cunha is back from suspension for what looks likely to be his final run of games for Wolves amid mounting transfer speculation, with Arsenal and Manchester United each purported to be among the Brazil international’s suitors.

Pablo Sarabia starred from the bench last time out at Ipswich, scoring the equaliser before setting up in-form striker Jorgen Strand Larsen for the winner. The former Sevilla and Paris Saint-Germain forward is likely to be rewarded with a start.

Dejan Kulusevski is close to a return from his foot injury but the trip to Frankfurt is most likely to be his target. 

As Postecoglou ponders the correct level of rotation, expect Archie GrayDjed SpencePape Sarr and Richarlison to come into the reckoning, along with Wilson Odobert, who overcame fears of a hamstring complaint to make the bench in midweek.
