Postecoglou to axe Solanke – Tottenham predicted XI v Wolves
Ange Postecoglou could axe Dominic Solanke in one of seven Tottenham changes for the Premier League clash against Wolves.
Postecoglou’s full focus is likely to be on the UEFA Europa League, with Daniel Levy expected to sack the Australian if Spurs don’t reach the last four of the competition.
The North London side drew 1-1 with Eintracht Frankfurt in the first leg of the two clubs’ last-eight tie at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Thursday (10 April). Therefore, Postecoglou knows that victory is needed in Germany on Thursday (17 April), with his position at Spurs hanging in the balance.
As a result, the 59-year-old is likely to make wholesale changes for the Premier League clash with Wolves at Molineux on Sunday (13 April).
Postecoglou to make seven Tottenham changes v Wolves
Guglielmo Vicario is likely to be one of the few Tottenham players who keep their place from the frustrating draw with Frankfurt, despite the Italian making just the one save on Thursday [Sofascore].
Djed Spence was a surprise exclusion against Frankfurt and will likely come back in to replace Destiny Udogie, who left the pitch in some discomfort on Thursday after an impressive performance which saw the left-back win 100 per cent of his ground duels and succeed with 100 per cent of his dribbles.
Pedro Porro could keep his place at right-back after scoring the equaliser in North London, while Micky van de Ven is rested for the trip to Germany after a positive display which saw him complete 95 per cent of his passes.
| Premier League 2024/25 | Position | Points |
| Tottenham | 14th | 37 |
| Everton | 15th | 35 |
| West Ham | 16th | 35 |
| Wolves | 17th | 32 |
The Dutchman is likely to be replaced by Ben Davies, with Cristian Romero in line to start alongside the Welshman.
In midfield, Postecoglou could make wholesale changes and leave James Maddison, Lucas Bergvall and Rodrigo Bentancur on the bench in the West Midlands, while Yves Bissouma, Pape Matar Sarr and Archie Gray are given opportunities in midfield.

Spurs’ front three struggled on Thursday, with Son Heung-min providing just one accurate cross from three attempts and failing with both of his attempted dribbles.
The South Korean could be replaced by Mikey Moore, while Dominic Solanke makes way for Richarlison, who returned from injury off the bench on Thursday.
Finally, Brennan Johnson could keep his place in the side despite completing just 76 per cent of his passes and failing to provide an accurate cross from two attempts as Wilson Odobert injury fears arise.
