Keane and Neville back Spurs to end 2026 drought at relegated Wolves

Roy Keane and Gary Neville have thrown their weight behind Tottenham to claim a crucial victory at Molineux this weekend, even as the Lilywhites battle through a mounting injury crisis.

De Zerbi's men find themselves in desperate straits. A late collapse against Brighton at home last weekend—combined with West Ham's draw at Crystal Palace on Monday—has left Spurs sitting two points adrift of 17th place with just five games to salvage their season. More pressingly, they've yet to win a Premier League match in 2026, making Saturday's trip to already-doomed Wolves a genuine must-win.

Speaking on the Stick To Football YouTube channel, Keane predicted a 3-1 scoreline in Spurs' favour. "It's about time they showed a bit of fight, a bit of energy," the Manchester United legend said. "A couple of lads coming back. Was Maddison on the bench last weekend? Spurs'll be fine."

Neville, while acknowledging he doesn't "see Spurs being comfortable," still expects De Zerbi's side to find a way through. "I don't think Wolves will win," the former right-back declared. "I think Tottenham are going to score a late winner. 2-1."

Ian Wright struck a more cautious note, backing Wolves to salvage something from the encounter—though such optimism seems fanciful given their relegation has already been confirmed.

The injury list continues to grow like an unwanted weed. Destiny Udogie, having just returned from a hamstring problem, is now set to miss out against Wolves, with Djed Spence primed to deputise at left-back. Cristian Romero's season is finished following a knee injury sustained in the defeat at Sunderland, while Mohammed Kudus has suffered a fresh setback in his quad recovery. Dejan Kulusevski, Wilson Odobert, and Ben Davies remain sidelined.

There is a silver lining, at least. Guglielmo Vicario is expected to return in goal after two matches out following hernia surgery, while James Maddison—fully recovered from his ACL injury and back on the bench against Brighton—could feature this weekend.
