Another Saturday, another later-than-late kick-off as Tottenham Hotspur v Wolverhampton Wanderers gets underway at 20:00 BST.

TEAM NEWS

It’s easier to compare the Spurs team to last weekend’s XI rather than the much-changed side that Thomas Frank sent out in midweek.

There are two alterations from the Gameweek 5 line-up, both of them notable from a Fantasy perspective.

Pedro Porro drops to the bench, so in comes Djed Spence at right-back.

Further forward, Xavi Simons reclaims his place as Wilson Odobert makes way.

Vitor Pereira, by contrast, has had his head turned by the midweek EFL Cup win over Everton.

There’s only one change from Tuesday’s XI, as Jean-Ricner Bellegarde is replaced by Joao Gomes.

LINE-UPS

Tottenham Hotspur XI: Vicario; Spence, Romero, Van de Ven, Udogie; Bentancur, Bergvall, Palhinha; Simons, Kudus, Richarlison.

Subs: Kinsky, Danso, Tel, Gray, Johnson, Porro, Odobert, Sarr, Scarlett.

Wolverhampton Wanderers XI: Johnstone; Doherty, H Bueno, Krejci, S Bueno; Munetsi, Andre, J Gomes; Arias, Strand Larsen, Hwang.

Subs: Sa, Moller Wolfe, Agbadou, Arokodare, R Gomes, Toti, Bellegarde, Lopez, Tchatchoua.

    Bruno to Gakpo (who was benched and blanked) and then Wood who I benched for Bruno also blanked.

    Need to do 3 transfers among them
    Sels
    Porro Milenkovic
    Rutter Gapko Bruno

    One defender and midfielder will be on bench

    Rest of the other team
    Dubravka
    Munoz Senesi Esteve
    Semenyo Reijnders
    Haaland Gyok pedro

    Possible choice:
    1. Sels, Milenkovic, Rutter -> Raya, Gabriel, King (probably have to do it today as fund is tight)
    2. Porro, Milenkovic -> Gabriel, vdb (or any 4.5ish defender) and start Dubravka instead of sels

      Starting to think that he's the only essential Liverpool asset. Will bring him in gw8, I think.

        7.6m but he's due a price drop tonight. Nketiah available and playing midweek Conference League could see reduced mins for Mateta

          I'm not sure yet. I need to see his minutes tomorrow and in the midweek UCL.

      Should follow their lead, considering they are the Portugal B team.
