Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou is focused on identifying a source of internal leaks ahead of their Premier League match against Wolves. After a 1-1 draw with Eintracht Frankfurt in the Europa League, Postecoglou expressed concern about information being leaked from within the club. "There is no doubt we've got a leak inside the club," he stated, as reported by BBC Sport. "Someone continues to leak out information, and they have all year."

Wolves head coach Vitor Pereira has decided not to immediately reinstate Matheus Cunha to the starting lineup after his suspension. Pereira explained, "What is fair? It's fair to keep going with the same team. That is my opinion." He emphasised commitment and leadership, noting that Cunha understands his decision. Pereira also mentioned tactical adjustments, saying they are focusing on improving their style of play.

Postecoglou acknowledged the physical demands faced by his players in their recent match against Frankfurt. He anticipates a challenging game on Sunday and believes fresh legs will be beneficial. "It was a big physical toll last night," he said. "It's a big game [on Sunday] and a big performance is needed." He praised Wolves for stabilising under Pereira's leadership.

Jorgen Strand Larsen has been in excellent form for Wolves, scoring four goals in their last three Premier League matches. He ranks second in off-the-ball runs into the opposition box this season with 262 runs. For Tottenham, Brennan Johnson has scored 11 Premier League goals this season, making him Spurs' top scorer. He has also contributed two assists.

Pereira remains cautious despite Wolves' recent success, having moved 12 points clear of relegation after defeating Ipswich. He stressed the importance of maintaining focus until safety is mathematically secured: "If you relax it's a big mistake." Pereira highlighted his responsibility to keep the team motivated for upcoming challenges.

Match Prediction and Statistics

Wolves have won their last three Premier League games, enjoying the longest current winning streak in the competition. They aim for a fourth consecutive victory, which would be their first since January 1972. Under Pereira's guidance since December, Wolves have won seven league games—more than most teams during this period.

Tottenham's away form has been concerning, with nine losses this season—only Southampton and Leicester have more away defeats. Postecoglou's team has lost their last two away games against Wolves, matching their total losses from the previous 12 visits (W8 D2). They haven't lost three consecutive league visits to Molineux since between 1964 and 1968.

The Opta win probability suggests Wolves have a 43.3% chance of winning, while Tottenham stands at 31.2%, with a draw at 25.4%. This prediction reflects both teams' current form and historical performances at Molineux Stadium.

As both teams prepare for Sunday's clash, Tottenham aims to overcome recent challenges while Wolves look to extend their winning streak under Pereira's leadership. The match promises an exciting contest between two competitive sides striving for success in the Premier League standings.
