The Tottenham substitutes came out for their warm-up less than 30 minutes before kick-off.

They are on the opposite side of the pitch to where the visiting supporters sit, so no interaction.

Harry Kane is easy to spot.

He is the only Tottenham player wearing a dark blue top and tracksuit bottoms.

Wolves manager Bruno Lage has paid tribute to Nuno's work over four years at the club in today's match programme.

However, he points out that the club must move forward.

"I have a lot of respect for the amazing things Nuno did for Wolves," he said. "Those achievements will never be forgotten.

"But when the referee blows his whistle today, I know fans will be behind us.

"That’s because no-one should live in the past. We always need to live in the present.”

Wolverhampton boxer Ben Whittaker is at Molineux today. He has been outside the ground, showing off Tokyo 2020 silver medal and also sporting the mayoral chain of the city to cheers from the Wolves fans.

Whittaker joked after his quarter-final fight this summer that he wanted to "become the mayor of Wolverhampton" if he won gold.

Good luck to the actual mayor getting it back!

The Athletic's David Ornstein is reporting that Arsenal's £50m defender Ben White will miss this afternoon's game against Chelsea due to illness.

Tottenham manager Nuno Espirito Santo was given a very warm reception by the Wolves fans on his return to Molineux.

Nuno dodged between two club coaches to get into the stadium without being exposed to most of the fans gathered near the main entrance but those who spotted his dash for the door were soon joined by the rest.

It is a quirk of the fixture list that he returns to Wolves in their first home game since he left.

Nuno returns to Molineux this afternoon with Spurs having left Wolves in May after four impressive seasons, during which time he took the club from the Championship to a Europa League quarter-final.

Speaking before his return to his former club, Nuno said: "It will be special. Four years of hard work, amazing, the fans so supportive and good to us. Only love and respect I have for the fans, for the club and for the players there. It was four years of our life we were together.”

On the reception of his return:“I don’t know how they will be. I will go there focused but with a smile on my face.”

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer isn't expecting a similar result this time round.

He said: "That game [last season's 9-0 win] was a one off. That's a special game when you have a lad sent off in the first minute. With Ralph's teams you get high energy, high pressing and belief in themselves. They give you a great challenge. We know every time we travel down there it's a very difficult game.

"You want to silence the home crowd. I know that’s not going to happen when it’s the first game at St. Mary’s in 18 months, it will be loud, but we have to do that. We have to manage the game so that the away fans are the ones that are heard."

Last time Southampton and Man Utd met in the league the Saints suffered the joint-biggest defeat in Premier League history.

Back in February, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's men ran riot at Old Trafford, putting nine past Ralph Hasenhuttl's side.

A red card for Alexandre Jankewitz after only two minutes triggered a complete collapse for the visitors. The stuff of nightmares.

Harry Kane got a mixed reception when he left the Tottenham coach as it arrived at Miolineux.

There were a lot of boos and also a 'City' chant.

I don't think too much can be read into that though, they were virtually all Wolves fans in the reception party.

All the Spurs talk lately has been about Harry Kane.

But how good has this man been?!

DigitalTeez: Kane rightfully on the bench as he should be. Shows faith and continuity in last week's starting 11. Absolutely wrecks my fantasy team though

It tells you what Tottenham want. It shows they want him there, he is their best player. But it is now down to Harry to come out and say officially that he wants to leave. If he wants to leave, he seems to be wanting to protect his reputation and standing at the club rather than coming out and saying what he wants.

Raul Jimenez started for Wolves in their defeat by Leicester last week and will feature in front of the home fans at Molineux for the first time in nine months after recovering from a fractured skull.

Wolves XI: José Sá, Romain Sass, Conor Coady, Marcal, Nelson Semedo, Max Kilman, Ruben Neves, Joao Moutinho, Adama Traora, Francisco Traore, Raul Jimenez.

Harry Kane is named on the Tottenham bench, with boss Nuno Espirito Santo - returning to his former club - sticking with the same XI that beat Manchester City last weekend.

Tottenham XI: Hugo Lloris, Japhet Tanganga, Eric Dier, Davinson Sanchez, Sergio Reguilon, Oliver Skipp, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, Dele Alli, Lucas Moura, Steven Bergwijn, Son Heung-min.

Southampton are unchanged from the side that lost 3-1 at Everton on the opening weekend of the season.

Southampton XI: McCarthy, Livramento, Stephens, Salisu, Perraud, Walcott, Ward-Prowse, Romeu, Djenepo, Adams, Armstrong.

Summer signings Raphael Varane and Jadon Sancho must wait to make their first start for Manchester United, both are named on the bench today.

There are two changes from the side that hammered Leeds 5-1 last time out, Nemanja Matic and Anthony Martial come in with Scott McTominay and Daniel James dropping out.

Man Utd XI: De Gea, Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Maguire, Shaw, Matic, Fred, Greenwood, Fernandes, Pogba, Martial.

Here comes the team news...

I was there in Italy and played against Romelu. In his first year he was incredible but in his second he toom Inter to the title. He won them games out of nothing. He was a one-man wrecking machine at times.

He has the potential to cause a lot of damage. That Chelsea team has talent everywhere to feed him. He can create chances on his own. He can score a lot of goals and put them up there.

While Romelu Lukaku is expected to feature for Chelsea, Christian Pulisic has been ruled out by Covid-19.

N'Golo Kante may return from injury.

Like Kante, Hakim Ziyech has returned to training following a minor issue and is expected to come back into contention on Sunday.

Arsenal forward Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang may return after recovering from coronavirus but Alexandre Lacazette is yet to resume training following a positive test.

Willian has also returned a positive test and could miss out, while new signing Martin Odegaard has yet to receive visa clearance so can't play.
