Wolves enhanced their excellent record against top teams when winning 2-0 at Man City but are not always clinical when it comes to seeing off lesser lights.

The international break couldn't come soon enough for Tottenham and the hope is they will have regrouped in time for Saturday's clash with Watford.

Sheff Utd have shown plenty of spirit since earning promotion to the Premier League and this is just the type of fixture Arsenal have tended to slip up in.
