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. Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Thanks Sonny, I captained Kane in August against a team they lost 3 of the last 4 at home. My word what was I thinking 😆

  3. Total Slotball

    3 years, 4 months ago

    Kane will use the dark arts in 2nd half to buy a pen incoming...

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

      Only chance of points.

      And he’ll get 9pts for that

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

      That’s my worry.

  4. Piggs Boson
    • 14 Years

    Wonder if Conte has flipped a table yet.

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

      He’s carrying a hand injury from that handshake

      3 years, 4 months ago

      No he's chilling with prosecco

  5. Hotdogs for Tea
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Conte needs to bring Sess on at half time for Perisic to get some urgency going 🙂

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

      Bored?

  6. Londongeezaa
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    What we all need is for Haaland, Salah and Jesus to all blank this week

    Create some real chaos and drama 🙂

    1. TomSaints
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Real chaos is 2 blank 1 hauls. Otherwise it’s doesn’t matter if they all do the same thing

      1. G-Whizz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

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

      Kane(c) ?

      1. Londongeezaa
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        I don’t own Kane. Have all the above but it’s too template.

        Without them it would get really interesting.

  7. EDUARDO DA SILVA

    Son of to korea, perisic in attack with kane

  8. TomSaints
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Wolves have been superb until it comes to actually scoring and will somehow lose this game.

    When is Jiminez due back?

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

      Benched so soon.

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

      not the same player after skull injury .. poor lad

  9. adstomko
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Mount (C) vs Leeds.
    Not sure if that's plain stupid or too risky

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

      G & A incoming

    2. Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Well done. His record is good v Leeds and I hope it pays off for you. I tried not go Salah, Haaland or Jesus this week and went with Kane. Unfortunately looks like I could be punished for it.

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

        Cheers!
        Yeah given how tenplate everyone is going, think it's worth a punt

    3. Hattrick Harry
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Too late with that decision

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

    The Leon Bailey wagon might not be dead yet 😮

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

      if he starts

    2. adstomko
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Palace will keep him quiet. 1-0

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

      Yaa? Will he even start?

    4. Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I think he will do well, I only sold because I had too many dropping in price

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

    Sess & Rich bibs off.

    Not far away!

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

      Jimmy too 🙂

  12. Silecro
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    No changes at HT

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

    We reuined so many other fans experience by winning everything. People aren’t interested in the truth re Glazers protests.

    Fair enough. Let it all out.

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

      It's clear that you're the one letting it all out.

    2. Herger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      We’ve won 20 titles mate. We don’t have to listen to this lot.

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

        True

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

          Lions do not concern themselves with the thoughts of sheep. Just rise above it mate

          1. Flog the trog
            • 15 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            Imagine referring to this current United team as lions lol...

    3. MYNAMEISBigtopmark.sman
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I don't remember any support after we dominated and poor ownership decisions caused 30 years of pain. Long may yours last

    4. Qaiss
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Protests that only happen when you're about to play Liverpool, a team that can batter you so you try to get the game called off.

      Protests that didn't happen when you signed Sancho, Varane and Ronaldo and thought you were going to challenge for the title.

      So you want the Glazers out and a billionaire to come in and spend his money? Haven't your fans been calling your neighbours Man City an "oil club" for the last decade, for doing exactly just that?

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

        It’s amazing isn’t it, trying to get sympathy off other clubs when they bought Ronaldo last year, the billions they’ve spent etc. And they act like they’re hard done by when other clubs have gone under in recent years. Incredible.

    5. They are eating the dogs

      If you were Trump this will look like incetement to violence to MSM.

      1. @persecuted_by_mods
          3 years, 4 months ago

          More like LAME stream media

    6. Siva Mohan

      Conte laughing with referee

      Kane peno definitely!

    7. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

      perisic on corners

      1. G-Whizz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        He's on something...

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

      Who cursed Kulusevski in that first half?

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

      First corner: Son
      Second corner: Son
      Third corner: Son
      Fourth corner: PERISIC

      Finally

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

      perisic looks like a Duracell bunny second half, so much energy

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

        Know he's only got a few minutes left to play?

        1. @persecuted_by_mods
            3 years, 4 months ago

            Just got back from the future?

        2. FPL Daniel
          • 16 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          He looks haul imminent

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

        nearly perisic assist

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

        Perisic assist wasted

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

        First corner: Son
        Second corner: Son
        Third corner: Son
        Fourth corner: PERISIC
        Fifth corner: PERISIC

        1. FPL Daniel
          • 16 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Son on the left, Perisic on the right

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

            Taking notes to see if it stays that way, need to see a left corner this half to confirm. Conte might be fed up with Son not being in the box/deliver etc

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

          Son is dreadful so it was inevitable

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

        What did Perisic take at HT?

        1. FPL Daniel
          • 16 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          He is eager to score

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

          Ribena

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

        Perisic way better than Son at set pieces

        1. FPL Daniel
          • 16 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Both are excellent, Perisic slightly ahead

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

            Son is one of the worst setpiece takers in the league, it's amazing that he's had any assists from them because he hits the first man so often

      7. FPL Daniel
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Emerson complicating a lot. His decision making is sub pair at best

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