Chelsea hero Joe Cole delivers Tottenham dig minutes into BT Sport coverage of Wolves clash

The Premier League early kick-off on Saturday is Tottenham vs Wolves at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. And as ever the BT Sport cameras are live in the capital for the lunchtime clash.

It's a big game for both clubs with Spurs looking to continue their unbeaten start to the season after a win over Southampton and a draw away at Chelsea. Spurs will be looking to make it back-to-back home wins with victory over Wolves, who are looking for their first win, after defeat to Leeds and a draw with Fulham.

Antonio Conte has made two changes to his starting lineup with one enforced by Cristian Romero's injury, with Davinson Sanchez coming in. The other change sees Ivan Perisic make his full Premier League debut in place of Ryan Sessegnon, who drops to the bench.

Tottenham can move to the top of the Premier League table with a win, albeit only for a few hours, and they are looking to end a 14-year trophy drought this season under Conte, with many seeing Spurs as the closest challengers to Manchester City and Liverpool this campaign.

The lack of trophies is something Spurs fans can never get away from and they are constantly reminded about it by rival fans too. And not just rival fans, but former rival players, as shown by BT Sport's coverage.

Just minutes into the coverage, one BT Sport pundit stuck the boot into Spurs, and of course it was a Chelsea legend. After confirming the team news, the BT Sport crew were sat in the home dugout to introduce coverage.

Joe Cole was amongst the punditry team and delivered a dig to Spurs from the off. He said: "They've left no stone unturned here at Tottenham, they've got the reclining seats, heated seats, they've got it all here at Tottenham, just not many trophies at the moment."

That elicited gasps and oohs from Glenn Hoddle and Joleon Lescott alongside, with Cole saying that would be it for him and sticking the boot in.
