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

      That's his fill done for the day then

    Harry! Should give 2p for good effort.

    Spurs have looked woeful this first half, there was so much talk about how well drilled they were in pre season but they look absolutely burnt out already. Could be a mixture of that Chelsea game & this early kick off taking it out of them too.

    Honestly, how on EARTH can we not hear play comms but all I can hear are camera shutters every time the ball goes in the box? lol

    Spuds don't look fit, seems incredible after that trip to south korea

    1. Fabreghastly

      3 years, 11 months ago

      Conte works them hard in training

  7. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    Perisic involved in fouls

  8. Random Name
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Real Madrid replaced Casemiro with Camavinga and Tchouameni and THEY are the ones in profit... wtf

    1. tangtastic
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      They have an account at the Bank of Utd

    2. Siva Mohan
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Casemiro + Modric + Kross combo has to change one day .. 70M is good money for Casemiro

  9. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Nunes close.

  10. Mr Arsenal
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    No yc for Perisic for cynical fouling is ridiculous

    1. Critical Observer
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Royal would have deserved a booking for his efforts as well I feel.

  11. The Mandalorian
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Perisic Spurs best attacking player

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Low bar today

  12. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Spurs needing a bit more patience and width in attack.

    Sessegnon could be the key!

  13. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    IOS 15 is shite, just sorted copy paste issue 🙁

  14. Randaxus
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Conte is going to berate them

  15. Cilly Bonnolly
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    That was easy money. Bet365 slashed the odds this morning on Kane having a shot on goal from 1/6 to evens.

    1. Red Red Robins
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      So did skybet - header on target was 3.75

  16. DRIZ ✅
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Not bad half for Kane cappers, had a good chance already

    1. Tambling5
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Are you watching the game!?

  17. Piggs Boson
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Sa's going to end up with a monster xGP stat again this season, isn't he... Maybe the Wolves defence isn't as bad as the xGC implies, thanks to Sa.

  18. The Senate
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Perisic owners proper lucky. First he plays then he doesn't get booked for THAT

    1. Siva Mohan
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      not a YC .. non-owner

    2. Salarrivederci
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      They might be unlucky if he gets subbed HT or before 60.

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        Doherty to be the points scorer!!

  19. Randaxus
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    If Tottenham were against a better attacking team they would be losing by 2 or 3 goals

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Haven't looked convincing in defense at all so far this season, take away Romero and this is what it looks like

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Yeah, that's true. If Wolves had scored a couple.

    3. MrZ
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      They need another Anthony Taylor

  20. @persecuted_by_mods
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Son on all corners, taking them badly. Perisic double footers needed!

  21. Free Hat
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Spurt bit lucky with yc.
    Kulu, royal, perisic all good have easily get yc for stopping an "attack"

    1. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Second half yet

    2. Tambling5
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      They did the same last week, and got no yellow cards then either. This ref looks a bit better tho!

  22. Paqueta Rice
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    One thing I’ve taken away from that first half is Nunes has had two good chances and gets quite far forward. Looks a tidy player.

  23. Make United Great Again
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    I don’t think a large majority understand what the Glazers out protests are about.

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
      3 years, 11 months ago

      @Qaiss

    2. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      I think the large majority don't really care about the truth. It's just tribal warfare.

      1. Make United Great Again
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        Exactly this.

    3. Herger
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      I can only speak for myself but I’m protesting because I demanded Benzema a month ago and we still don’t have him.

      1. @persecuted_by_mods
        3 years, 11 months ago

        I'm protesting because of the climate, glaciers out!

        1. Herger
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 11 months ago

          Still not forgiven them for the Titanic!

        2. Wenger's Warriors
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 11 months ago

          I'm protesting because of these draughty windows...glazers out!!

    4. tangtastic
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      I thought it was about getting the Glazers out?

    5. banskt
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      I don't understand. Will there be enough protesters?

      1. @persecuted_by_mods
        3 years, 11 months ago

        The biggest one yet, we're not stopping until they're out

        1. banskt
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 11 months ago

          We will see. But, I really doubt there will be enough protesters for the Glazers to care about. Changes need big protests. Not some customary show-of-intent.

        2. banskt
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 11 months ago

          Also, many supporters seem content with the Casemiro. They mostly care about the team's result, ownership not the main concern.

    6. 3 A
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      We dont care about small teams.

    7. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Too insignificant a club right now for us to care.

    8. Siva Mohan
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      protest to captain Maguire for life?

    9. Drexl Spivey
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Your problem. Deal with it.

      1. @persecuted_by_mods
        3 years, 11 months ago

        We supported you Vs Ashley

        1. Drexl Spivey
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 11 months ago

          Rubbish. Your club signed to block the takeover.

          1. @persecuted_by_mods
            3 years, 11 months ago

            That was only because we knew how Newcastle fans would start behaving, the league doesn't need another set of man utd fans

            1. Drexl Spivey
              • 8 Years
              3 years, 11 months ago

              Man United fans don't need you.

              1. @persecuted_by_mods
                3 years, 11 months ago

                I'm a local fan, we're the lifeblood of the club. Every week we travel from London

                Your club is stained with blood money

                1. Drexl Spivey
                  • 8 Years
                  3 years, 11 months ago

                  You don't even have a club. You're an internet troll. Enjoy being an absolute zero in life.

                  1. @persecuted_by_mods
                    3 years, 11 months ago

                    What a weird accusation

    10. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Perhaps, but when the fanbase organises a walkout during one game and then cancels it because they're winning it's hard to have much sympathy. Not exactly a good showing when people also criticise the same fans for forgetting about this once transfers start happening

      1. tangtastic
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        This.

        I don't remember protests GW1 or GW2.

        So results have gone badly and now they're stamping their feet again..

      2. banskt
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        Agreed. This is why, I think, the protest becomes insignificant. Nobody cares about the ownership, they only care about the result on the pitch.

  24. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Guedes and Nunes could be good and Neves too when they start converting chances.

    The midfield value could well be with Wolves.

  25. Mr Arsenal
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Take-aways from this half:
    - Wolves assets worth looking at. Guedes looking good
    - Spurs very sluggish and creating fck all. Won’t score many goals, sell their assets and get Arsenal ones

    I know, I’m biased

    1. A. PRISE
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Spurs suck, it's normal and always has been

    2. Free Hat
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Like the look of guedes tbh

  26. A. PRISE
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Techel and Conte fighting is the most action the premier league has seen this first 3 gameweeks

    1. Siva Mohan
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      may feature in #PL50 edition

  27. Dr. Rog
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Wolves look like the home team

    1. Drip Doctor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Tbf, they have an incredible amount of talent in the squad now. That midfield three will dominate a lot of teams. Ait Nouri, Neto are both very talented. Guedes lively.

  28. Free Hat
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Nunez 5.0
    Guedes 6.0
    Both midfielders.
    If guedes remains focal point, could be interesting

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Looks good but Wolves just don't score enough.

    2. banskt
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Once the Wolves start scoring goals, Guedes looks lovely.

    3. Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      I thought Nunes had better chances and was making late runs into the box

    4. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Let's see how they set up once Jimi is back.

    5. Hattrick Harry
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      No wolves attacker could be interesting, only RAN/Jonny bc wolves live for its defence.

    6. Nuka Girl
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      He might be the new Hwang.

  29. Paqueta Rice
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Wolves are dominating because they have the extra man in midfield and it’s so obvious. Spurs need Bissouma on and change to a back 4

    1. Siva Mohan
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Ben to Bissouma?

      1. Paqueta Rice
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        Perisic off Bissouma on and Davies to LB maybe.

    2. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      What do you mean, Harry Kane is playing in Bissouma's position

  30. meenabakery
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Should've captained Dewsbury-Hall.
