At the end of last weekend’s huge 2-1 win at Ipswich Town, Wolves fans started chanting, 'we are staying up'.

However, despite now being 12 points clear of the relegation zone, their manager insisted he wouldn’t have that talk in his dressing room.

Trailing at half-time at Portman Road, Vitor Pereira made ‘dynamic’ tweaks, in his words, but refused to explain them to Gary Lineker on Match of the Day as he wanted to use them in the next game - this one!

He did acknowledge a demand for his players to move the ball quicker and press higher in his preferred 3-4-2-1 system - one implemented since replacing Gary O’Neil.

Former Spurs man Matt Doherty, more accustomed to a wing-back role, has nailed down the right-sided-centre back position - while Rayan Aït-Nouri and Nelson Semedo provide the width instead.

Brazil internationals Joao Gomes and Andre hold things together in midfield, with Gomes in particular keen to drive in possession and feed their front three.

During this winning streak, featuring victories over Southampton, West Ham and Ipswich, Matheus Cunha has been unavailable through suspension.

The Brazil forward has 13 goals and 4 assists in 26 Premier League games this season - and was problematic at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in December, floating out to the left side to pick up possession as one of two attackers behind the striker.

His withdrawal at half-time due to a muscle issue felt like a relief for Spurs - however the visitors rallied to earn a 2-2 draw.

The numbers in fact show that Wolves boast a better points-per-game ratio from the five matches they’ve played without him this season.

Admittedly, that’s a small sample size - but Pereira suggested last weekend that Cunha wouldn’t be coming back in to his eleven.

“Matheus is an important player because he has skills, he has quality - but we have a team. We are consistent now. We have an idea how to play. We create identity. Now we are in conditions to compete.”

So how will Wolves will line up on Sunday?

Expect Jorgan Strand Larsen, the striker on loan from Celta Vigo, to lead the line after four goals across the three victories.

At 6 foot 4, his hold-up play was on display at Portman Road, leaping high to bring the ball under his spell for Pablo Sarabia’s equaliser. He was then on hand from close range to tuck away the late winner like a proper centre-forward.

Strand Larsen will shoot from range (as he did to score against West Ham), from tight angles (for his goal at Spurs) and is a threat in the air to meet crosses (see his header away to Southampton).

Pereira has been keen to point to one supporting player, signed in February from French club Reims, who has been key to Strand Larsen’s improved goal rate.

“He has increased his level because (Marshall) Munetsi is playing close to him - now he has someone attacking the open space for him... to support the second ball.”

The Zimbabwe international has been playing as one of two behind Strand Larsen - and stays tight to link up. The pair did this very effectively in the West Ham win, with Munetsi guilty of wasting two big chances.

In fact that trio up front, featuring Jean-Richner Bellegarde, too, worked the ball in a tight area between them at St Mary’s so that Strand Larsen could thump home a recent winner.

Spurs will have to contain the players in those 10 positions to try and stem the supply to Wolves’ number 9.
