We simulated Tottenham vs Wolves to get a score prediction for Saturday's game

Tottenham Hotspur will be looking to make it two wins from three in the Premier League on Saturday as they host Wolves in the early kick-off.

A fiery contest in Spurs’ last outing saw Antonio Conte's side draw 2-2 against London rivals Chelsea. Conte and Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel both received red cards after the full-time whistle last week.

Harry Kane got off the mark for the season with a 96th-minute equaliser against Chelsea, whilst Cristian Romero faced no punishment for pulling the hair of Marc Cucurella. Since then, VAR's Mike Dean has admitted he was wrong to not send referee Anthony Taylor to the monitor to look at the situation.

Romero escaped a suspension for his antics against Chelsea, but the Argentine will miss the clash with Wolves through injury. Ivan Perisic could start over Ryan Sessegnon, whilst it's a close call for who may start out of Richarlison and Dejan Kulusevski.

So, what could the final score be between Spurs and Wolves? We simulated the game to try and find out.

Tottenham Hotspur vs Wolves score prediction

To complete this simulation, we used FIFA 22 and updated the squads with the latest transfers. Due to FIFA 22 not having the latest kits, both sides lined up in the kits for the 2021/22 season.

We predict that Conte's side could set up in a 3-4-3 formation, with their line-up as follows: Lloris; Sanchez, Dier, Davies; Royal, Hojbjerg, Bentancur, Perisic; Kulusevski, Kane, Son.

We predict that Wolves could set up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, with their line-up as follows: Sa; Jonny, Collins, Kilman, Ait-Nouri; Neves, Dendonker; Traore, Podence, Neto; Guedes.

Spurs created a handful of chances in the first half of the simulation, with Heung-Min Son being denied by a miraculous save from Jose Sa. Conte's side looked extremely dangerous, and they took a deserved lead on 36 minutes through Kane.

Son weaved his way into the box from the left before finding Kane inside the box with his back to goal. The England striker chipped the ball into the air with his right foot to create space for a shot, and with his left, Kane volleyed his effort underneath Sa to hand Spurs the lead.

The second half continued in the same fashion - Spurs dominated and created some great chances, but Sa was on top of his game to deny Richarlison and Son on multiple occasions. Wolves had a few chances themselves, but against the run of play, the visitors snatched a point in the 96th minute as they equalised from a corner.

Leander Dendoncker made it 1-1 (EA SPORTS FIFA)

Pedro Neto's out-swinging cross was met by Leander Dendonker inside the box, and his powerful header bounced past the diving Hugo Lloris and into the net. The ball hit Ben Davies who was on the line, but the defender couldn't keep the ball out as Spurs were held to a 1-1 draw.
