Their form has them 12th in the Premier League and struggling, and things need to turn around quickly.

They will hope that some positivity can return in front of their fans on Sunday as they host relegation-threatened Wolves.

However, new manager Vitor Pereira has the West Midlands outfit loving life, winning his first two games in charge.

Pereira can make history if he tastes victory again, aiming to become the first-ever Wolves boss to win his first three top-flight matches.

Tottenham vs Wolves: What has been said?

Former Tottenham midfielder Jamie O'Hara has called for Spurs to steal another Premier League manager to replace Postecoglou.

O'Hara believes the Australian's job is at risk as the pressure continues to grow on him as his side's poor form continues.

Speaking after a 1-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest last time out, the talkSPORT host told the Sports Bar: “We’ve actually fallen apart.

“I get we’ve had problems but you can’t keep losing games. It’s happening every week.

“I’m starting to come around to the fact that we should nick Fulham’s manager Marco Silva. He’s good.

"They are organised, have a structure. They haven’t got world-beaters, but they have good players.

“All I’m saying is I don’t know if Big Ange can carry on. You can’t lose nine out of 18 games and be the Tottenham manager and get away with it. It can’t continue.”
