Roberto De Zerbi refuses to pile pressure on Tottenham despite the relegation zone threat, demanding focus instead. Spurs sit two points adrift of West Ham with Nottingham Forest poised to stretch the gap. After salvaging a draw against Brighton, the squad must halt a winless league run and restore belief without letting anxiety dictate play amid dwindling options.

James Maddison travels but remains unavailable after suffering pain, joining a casualty list that includes Destiny Udogie, Pape Sarr and Guglielmo Vicario. De Zerbi cites caution over Maddison’s fitness while lamenting absent defenders and a goalkeeper likely to return next week. Wolves offer little margin given recent home form against top sides.

De Zerbi insists victory at Molineux keeps survival hopes alive, pointing to quality within his squad despite mounting absences. Tottenham will wear anti-racism t-shirts backing Kevin Danso after recent abuse. Belief must now convert into points against motivated opponents with nothing to lose.
