Tottenham predicted XI vs Wolves as Ange Postecoglou hands £25m star his first start and tweaks formation

Tottenham duo Pedro Porro and Destiny Udogie will miss the game against Wolves this weekend.

Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou is likely to hand January signing Radu Dragusin a first start of his Spurs career as they look to strengthen their hold of the top four. The Lilywhites will be without influential Italian defender Udogie and the energetic Porro. 

Postecoglou also confirmed second-choice goalkeeper Fraser Forster picked up a knock in training and could be out for a couple of months. He told reporters: "We’ve had a couple of setbacks this week. Destiny [Udogie] obviously picked up a little bit of a knock last week. 

"He's not available for tomorrow, don’t think it is anything too serious. With no game next weekend, he should be back. Pedro [Porro] picked up a strain at training. Again, probably be a couple of weeks for him.

"With the game break hopefully, he doesn’t miss too many. Probably the major one for us is Fraser Forster – got a knock in training, and got a fracture in his foot. He’ll probably miss conservatively a couple of months. They are the main three. Coming back, nothing from last week. Everyone is available." 

On a positive note, the Lilywhites have scored in a club-record 36 consecutive Premier League fixtures since a 1-0 defeat by Wolves last March. It's the second-longest scoring run in the division's history after Arsenal's 55-match streak between May 2001 and November 2002.

Spurs have won their last five home games and are tipped to get all three points here, so with that in mind, below is the team we anticipate Postecoglou will name and a possibly slight change in the formation with Romanian Dragusin coming in.
