Wolves boss Nuno Espirito Santo has no intention of parking the bus at Wembley despite Tottenham's goal-scoring form.

Spurs have scored 11 goals in their last two matches, thumping Everton 6-2 on Sunday before hitting five without reply against Bournemouth on Boxing Day.

"We are trying to build something, so when you try to build you do not look at the game like, 'What is the best way to get a result?' No, it's what is the best way for you to compete against these teams?
