Wolves defender Richard Stearman is backing his side to take all three points this weekend ahead of their trip to Tottenham.
The 24-year-old believes that teams are often mentally beaten before the game begins when facing top sides, but Stearman insists Mick McCarthy's men will go to White Hart Lane believing they can win.
"We are going there on the back of some undefeated games on our travels and we'll be looking to extend that at White Hart Lane," he told his club's official website.
"It'll be hard, of course it will, but we are confident that we can pick something up from the trip there.
"In this League every team that you come up against has the ability to beat you so, if you go into a game expecting a defeat, then that's what you're going to get.
"So we do the opposite. We go out looking to get a win and hoping it comes to fruition."
Stearman has taking part in all but one of the side's five recent Premier League meetings, and is looking to exact revenge on Saturday for the 3-1 defeat suffered at the hands of Harry Redknapp's men last season.
"I thought that the 3-1 scoreline at Spurs last season wasn't really a fair reflection of the game," he continued.
"Fletch gave us the lead and although we conceded three late goals I felt we were well worth the draw.
"Whenever we have played against them we have done quite well. We beat them twice in the season before last and we had a cracking game against them last year at Molineux."
