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

    1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      And the best one too!

      1. DropkickMurphys
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Oh absolutely! What a striker he was, never seen anything like since.

        1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Absolutely

    2. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Perhaps the best striker there has ever been. Unbelievable in his prime. Shame the injuries shortened his career.

      1. DropkickMurphys
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        I still get sad when I remember his injury in San Siro. Would of loved to watch him few more years.

  3. Nate(U)dog(ie)
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Guedes has been impressive, looks very sharp

    1. Siva Mohan
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Sanchez .. RC waiting to happen .. never learns

  4. Eleven Hag
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Wtf is spurs doing, is this how they always play?

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      It's not uncommon.

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      It's hard to play without the ball

      1. Siva Mohan
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        they get couple in training

    3. Siva Mohan
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      didn't watch them against CHE?

    4. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Yes they played like this v Chelsea most of the game

    5. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      The Conte version of the hairdryer is yet to happen at half-time. Vesuvius.

  5. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Neto is playing in defence 🙁

  6. Zenith UK
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    So question... Out of those three tackles, nobody think the Wolves player boot was showing studs in that third tackle? I get there was a foul prior but that's stamp-esque

  7. BeWater
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    This isn't going to change unless we bring Bissouma and Richarlison on.

    1. Eleven Hag
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      It's time Kane to drop seep

  8. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Richarlison on at HT

  9. DRIZ ✅
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Kane quiet so far

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      All Spurs have been quiet

  10. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Podence sitter

  11. Mr Arsenal
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    So maybe it wasn’t Chelsea being so good last weekend.

    Maybe it’s Spurs being really quite bad.

    1. Ginkapo FPL
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Maybe? That was obvious last week

  12. DRIZ ✅
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    podence big chance missed

  13. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Podence wastes Neto assist.

  14. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Lol Neto acting like that shot was close

  15. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Podence should do better with that chance

  16. Fish up a tree
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Spurs ain’t shown up yet

    1. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      At all

    2. lugs
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      overcooked from too much training, lots of running not much football

  17. They are eating the dogs
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Neto tried to score a goal and accidentally almost got an assist.

  18. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Spurs 0 shots
    Wolves 7

    1. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      1 on target though

    2. Mr Arsenal
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Kane and Son will need to be at their diving best to rescue this.

    3. LarryDuff
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      OMG

  19. FPL Emu
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    I can see a 55 minute Perisic to Richarlison sub here.

    Which would suck

  20. DRIZ ✅
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Perisic not on corners

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Son wasn't on the pitch when he took them vs Chelsea.

  21. Randaxus
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    I sense a shouting Antonio Conte at half time.

    1. Siva Mohan
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I f*king managed better teams .. you are s*te

      1. Randaxus
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        1. Siva Mohan
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          AC to Spurs at half time 🙂

          1. Randaxus
            • 4 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            oww I get it lol

    2. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      They'll be a different team 2nd half. Conte-factor.

  22. Fabreghastly
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    This is a great a watch for Arsenal fans

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I think you got a good chance finishing above Wolves this season

  23. A. PRISE
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Who else captained Kane? Oh well

    1. DRIZ ✅
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Plenty time left for Kane cappers

    2. Mr Arsenal
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I did and bracing myself for a 2 or 4 pointer…

  24. EDUARDO DA SILVA
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Son you dumb idiot

    1. LarryDuff
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Dad is that u?

  25. They are eating the dogs
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Harry Kane does not try to get to the ball but it is rather the ball that wants to get to Harry.

  26. Zenith UK
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    First corner: Son
    Second corner: Son

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      One of the worst corner takers in the league in terms of results. Hardly any assists come from his corners

  27. BeWater
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Appalling from Son. So bad.

  28. Make United Great Again
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Conte is going to rip into these at half time

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Rich and Sess could come in?

  29. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Son gave the ball away agaij

  30. g40steve
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    When will United invest in young talent instead of pensioners?

    1. Burger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Can we not just watch Spurs humiliate themselves, before we move on to humiliating Utd?
