Tottenham v Wolves: match preview

If you speak to any Tottenham fans, this is a time of much debate. Who will the next manager be? Will Harry Kane stay? And, most urgently: is there any way Spurs can manage to not finish seventh and therefore qualify for Uefa’s new Europa Conference League? The simple solution to that last question is to keep playing as badly as they did at Leeds last weekend and Everton, West Ham or (God forbid) even Arsenal could yet claim that dubious privilege. The answer to the first question is the most pressing, and may also provide the solution to Kane’s future. The man in the opposite dugout on Sunday, Wolves’ Nuno Espírito Santo, has been mentioned as a potential candidate. Then again, there have been already been a few of those. Ryan Mason is recovering from the considerable shock of being handed a Wembley cup final against the champions-elect as his first ever game in charge of a football team, but is clearly holding the fort until the summer. Just don’t finish seventh, Ryan, and you may even end up with the permanent gig. Paul Chronnell
