Tottenham Form Guide
Like Gary O’Neil, Ange Postecoglou was faced with the task of revitalising a team in crisis when he took the reigns this summer. However, unlike his opposite number this afternoon, the Australian wasted little time in getting results on the pitch.
The departure of Harry Kane promised to usher in a new era for better or worse at the North London club, but thanks to some shrewd buisness this summer the club have barely taken a backwards step since.
As recently as last week, Spurs sat top of the Premier League table, yet to lose in the competition and having dropped points just twice in ten games.
However, defeat to Chelsea on Monday has been compounded by injuries to James Maddison and Micky van de Ven which have threatened to derail what has been a promising start to the campaign.

Wolves Form Guide
After Julen Lopetegui departed by mutual consent in August having guided Wolves from the relegation zone to safety last season, the incoming Gary O’Neil was faced with the unenviable task of picking up the pieces and contiuing to build at Molineux.
The departures of Ruben Neves and Mattheus Nunes this summer followeed by just one win from their first five Premier League games did little to inspire confidence, but the O’Neil managed to get the wheels turning.
The side followed up a 1-1 draw with Luton by handing Man City their first defeat of the season, then defeated Bournemouth with respectable draws against the likes of Aston Villa and Newcastle.
Defeat away at Sheffield United to hand the newly-promoted side their first win of the season will have come as a shock, but O’Neil will be hoping the result was will prove little more than a blip as they look to continue their good form this afternoon.

The popular Australian has taken English football by storm since taking charge in the summer and saw his side go unbeaten in their first 10 games.
Spurs’ progress was slightly halted by a chaotic 4-1 defeat to Chelsea on Monday after they were reduced to nine men, but it has still been a fine start to the campaign.
