We simulated Tottenham vs Wolves to get a Premier League score prediction

Tottenham return to Premier League action this weekend when the Lilywhites take on Wolves at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

After frustratingly dropping points away to Everton two weeks ago, Spurs returned with a bang as they beat Brighton 2-1 thanks to a 96th-minute winner courtesy of Brennan Johnson. Heung-Min Son was back in action last weekend after returning from the Asia Cup, but Spurs will be without two key players on Saturday.

Ange Postecoglou has confirmed that both Destiny Udogie and Pedro Porro will be absent for the clash with Wolves due to injury. The last time Spurs and Wolves met saw the West Midlands side win 2-1 thanks to two stoppage-time goals from Pablo Sarabia and Mario Lemina.

So, can Spurs overcome Wolves this time round and pick up a big three points?

We simulated Spurs vs Wolvesto get a score prediction

To complete this simulation, we used EA FC 24 and updated the squads with the latest injuries and suspensions.

We predict that Spurs could set up in a 4-3-3 formation, with their line-up as follows: Vicario; Emerson, Romero, Van de Ven, Davies; Bissouma, Sarr, Maddison; Kulusevski, Richarlison, Son.

We predict that Wolves could line up in a 3-4-2-1 formation, with their line-up as follows: Sa; Kilman, Dawson, Toti; Semedo, Lemina, Gomes, Ait-Nouri; Neto, Hwang, Sarabia.

Wolves were gifted an opportunity to take the lead two minutes in when Guglielmo Vicario brought down Pedro Neto inside the box, but the 'keeper made up for his error by tipping Neto's penalty wide of goal and denying an early goal for the visitors. Spurs didn't create any clear-cut chances in the first half, but four minutes after the restart, the hosts took the lead.

As Spurs patiently passed around the Wolves box, James Maddison played a smart one-two with Richarlison to unlock the visitors' defence. The reverse pass from the Brazilian picked out Maddison in a fantastic position, leaving the midfielder to curl around Jose Sa and put Spurs ahead.

Pedro Neto was denied twice in the space of four minutes as Vicario impressed for Spurs once again, but it was a constant reminder that Spurs were far from a comfortable position. As the game went on, Postecoglou's side started to defend more and more, but an error from the visitors allowed Spurs to score in the 90th minute and wrap up the victory.

As Wolves got desperate for an equaliser they threw more and more bodies forward, and a poor pass into the box from Toti Gomes saw Maddison intercept, leading a five-versus-two break for Spurs. The Englishman picked out the run of Timo Werner to his right, and from a tight angle, the substitute rifled his shot into the top corner to secure a 2-0 win.
