Roberto De Zerbi says he does not want to pile too much pressure on his Tottenham players ahead of Saturdays trip to Wolves, but admits his side cannot ignore where they sit in the Premier League table and how badly they need the three points.Spurs head to Molineux to face already relegated Wolves, sitting 18th in the table, two points from safety with five games to play. They have not won a league game in 2026, and are on a 15-game winless run one short of the clubs all-time record.De Zerbi stopped short of framing the trip as a final but made clear a win remains non-negotiable.Anyway, if we win in Wolverhampton, it is not finished yet. There are four other games, but I think now we deserve to win a game. Also with Brighton, I knew before the game it is one of the best teams in the Premier League in this moment. After their game against Chelsea, everyone knows. We played a good game and deserved to win.3E9KX7W Kevin Danso of Tottenham Hotspur during the Tottenham Hotspur v Brighton & Hove Albion Premier League match at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, London, England on 18 April 2026 Credit: Ian Stephen/Every Second Media Credit: Every Second Media/Alamy Live NewsSpurs were denied a first victory of 2026 last weekend when Georginio Rutters 95th-minute equaliser condemned them to a 2-2 draw at home to Brighton.Table of ContentsMaddison on the bench but Udogie outDe Zerbi on Brobbey red card: Can we play the game again?Maddison on the bench but Udogie outDe Zerbi confirmed Destiny Udogie will miss the game through injury, though he suggested the left-back could return for the following fixture.
