No midweek Premier League or FA Cup action this time around, so we’ll just start looking ahead (never too early) to the next round of fixtures. The upcoming slate begins on Saturday, and includes a clash between Wolverhampton Wanderers and Tottenham Hotspur.
Spurs are currently in line for one of the UEFA Champions League qualification slots, but they have bigger aspirations than that.
