Against Brighton last week Wolves started five players born in the 2000s which was a Premier League first. In the lead up to today's match Nuno stressed the importance of youth players within his squad “We trust the young player and lets see now for the remaining matches how we’re going to balance the team. It’s all about balancing the youth with experience, even the senior players can learn a lot from the youth players, so we’re trying to make the games useful for us in the future."

Last time these two sides met was back in December with the game ending in a 1-1 draw at Molineux. Tottenham were in search of their first win in four matches and found themselves ahead after 57 seconds through Ndombele's 25 yard effort. But a late Saiss header in an 86th-minute dashed their chances of leaving with all three points.
