Ivan Perisic will finally get his full Tottenham Hotspur competitive debut this afternoon as the Lilywhites prepare to face Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Kick-off in north London is at 12:30 BST.

Perisic in for the benched Ryan Sessegnon is one of two changes that Antonio Conte has made, the other being the enforced swap from Cristian Romero to Davinson Sanchez.

There are summer signings also making their first starts for the visitors, too, as Goncalo Guedes and record signing Matheus Nunes get the nod.

Joao Moutinho is also back from injury to feature.

Hwang Hee-chan and Leander Dendoncker both drop to the bench, while Morgan Gibbs-White has departed for Nottingham Forest.

Perisic was one of the most-sold defenders of Gameweek 3, with just under 300,000 managers transferring him out, although still sits in a healthy 16.6% of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) squads.

Pedro Neto and Son Heung-min, both starters this lunchtime, were jettisoned by a similar number.

Dejan Kulusevski, by contrast, was snapped by just short of half a million FPL managers, resulting in a second price rise of 2022/23.

GAMEWEEK 3 LINE-UPS

Tottenham Hotspur XI: Lloris, Sanchez, Dier, Davies, Emerson, Bentancur, Hojbjerg, Perisic, Kulusevski, Son, Kane.

Subs: Forster, Doherty, Richarlison, Gil, Sessegnon, Tanganga, Moura, Lenglet, Bissouma

Wolverhampton Wanderers XI: Sa, Jonny, Collins, Kilman, Ait Nouri, Nunes, Neves, Moutinho Podence, Guedes, Neto.

Subs: Sarkic, Jimenez, Hwang, Boly, Semedo, Toti, Dendoncker, Traore, Cundle

    Perisic rusty.

      Now we know what Conte meant

  2. Zenith UK

    Perisic offside, again

    1. Siva Mohan
      • 13 Years

      may break Werner's records

  3. g40steve

    Wolves living dangerously.

  4. Over Midwicket
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Perisic has been awful. Slow, poor touch and bad positioning. Neto has ghosted past him multiple times.

  5. Nate(U)dog(ie)
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    I don't have any Spurs assets like I did then but this reminds me a lot of Spurs' game against Brighton near the end of last season, was also an early kick-off. Just look quote sluggish when they get towards the final third

    Kane losing the ball

    Time to get rid of son. Thanks for nothinf

    1. The Reptile
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Agree - he's looked poor this season and also had to take a price drop - sell for who though?

  8. Random Name
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    utd fans know they're gonna get cooked so they're trying to stop the game. That club is the gift that keeps on giving

    1. yousunkmybattleship
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Hard for them to stop all the remaining 36 games of the season though

    2. Qaiss
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      New manager they all wanted, £55m on Martinez they all wanted, £70m on Casemiro they all wanted.

      Results don’t go their way and they blame their owners, trying to get a match cancelled. They’re the worst fanbase out there.

      1. Make United Great Again
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        There have been protests about the Glazers since 2007. Do your research before talking nonsense.

        1. Qaiss
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          It’s not nonsense, you should blame the players for lacking motivation and not being up to standard. Collapsing against Brentford like that. It’s not the Glazers fault that you’ve lost your first two games.

          If you’d won them, there would be zero talk of the match on Monday being cancelled

      2. Make United Great Again
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Green white & yellow scarfs were worn by David Beckham at old Trafford.

        The opposition to the glazers has been long standing

    3. Qaiss
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      They all wanted Ten Hag, all wanted Martinez and Casemiro.

      Results don’t go their way and they blame their owners yet again, trying to get a match cancelled. Absolute degenerate fanbase mostly.

    4. Stranger Mings
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I get Utd hate the owners but they have spent a fortune

      1. Make United Great Again
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        They haven’t spent their own money. They’ve leveraged their debt onto the club, while spending money the Manchester United brand generates.

    5. Drexl Spivey
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      They don't want their faces on camera ("We paid for this.")

        • 15 Years

    2. panda07
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      He is 34, time catches up with us all eventually!

    3. The Knights Template

    Perisic owners will be lucky if he makes 60 here.

  17. Tambling5
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Constant moaning from Spurs fans not used to having a neutral referee.

    1. GREEN IS GOOD
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      The violence will begin in the 2nd half. Can't win, play dirty.

  18. Zenith UK
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Wolves about to become Brighton here now Jimenez isn't the guy he used to be? A lot of the ball, a lot of game control and talent, no finishing ability?

  19. Fabreghastly
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years

    Kane is leading the falling over stats

  20. eish
    • 11 Years

    1. Siva Mohan
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

  27. Randaxus
    • 5 Years
