Wigan Athletic vs Tottenham Hotspur 
We all remember the last time these 2 clubs met this season. Wigan will have revenge on their minds to restore some pride after the 9 – 1 mauling at the Lane. Spurs will want to get back to winning ways after dropping unnecessary points against Wolves the last time out.
Spurs have been looking for goals in the recent games and we sorely miss ‘azza (Lennon) who is still recovering from injury. While Bentley has been in good form, he does not inspire fear in opposing wingbacks like Lennon can. King could be available again but ‘arry will have to decide whether to play him today or against Bolton in midweek.
The pitch at the DW stadium has drawn tremendous criticism as rugby league is also played there. This is highly disruptive to the free flowing passing game that Spurs would like to play. Do not be surprise if we resort to the long ball lobs to Peter Crouch for most of the game.
This match is as tricky as the pitch and I am keeping my fingers cross that we will get a result. It will be good for the fans and the team to regain some confidence that we have sorely miss the last couple of weeks.
COYS!
