Can Spurs capitalise on already-relegated Wolves at Molineux to save Premier League status?

Tottenham Hotspur travel to Wolverhampton Wanderers this weekend with another chance to drag themselves closer to safety, but the margin for error is now painfully thin.

Spurs remain in the bottom three and their situation has become so desperate that a draw at Molineux would no longer feel like progress.

Roberto De Zerbi’s side showed some improvement in last weekend’s 2-2 draw against Brighton & Hove Albion, but the late equaliser they conceded turned a potentially vital win into another reminder of their fragility.

That result extended their winless Premier League run to 15 matches, leaving them still searching for a first league victory since December.

For a club of Tottenham’s size, that is a staggering collapse, but the only useful response now is to focus on the next opportunity.

Wolves, already relegated, look like ideal opponents on paper, but this is unlikely to be straightforward.

Rob Edwards’s side have already had their drop to the Championship confirmed, but their final home games still carry importance.

The players will want to give their supporters something to cling to, and there is also the motivation of dragging Spurs further into danger.

That makes this a strange but compelling fixture between two sides near the bottom of the table, with one already down and the other fighting to avoid joining them.

Tottenham cannot afford to approach it as though Wolves have nothing to offer.

They must instead build on the better parts of the Brighton performance, especially the attacking contribution of Xavi Simons, whose creativity gave them rare moments of belief.
