Tottenham Hotspur vs Wigan Athletic FC
This fixture will never fail to entertain.
Two seasons ago, we thumped Wigan 9-1, making it one of the highest-scoring game in Premier League history. Last season, we went down to a 1-0 shock defeat, one of the few home losses incurred at White Hart Lane.
And now, chasing the leading Manchester pack, Spurs will try to get maximum points for this game. With the game set to play just hours before the January transfer deadline, we may or may not see some names on the bench. Defoe and Lennon are labelled as "doubtful" after their involvement in the FA Cup match, and King and Bale will be aiming for a last-minute fitness test. Other than these team news, it would be probable that the line-up against Wigan is 80% similar to that of the one against Watford.
Wigan's new signing Beausejour will jump straight into the fray, and Maloney and Jones are expected to return after suffering from calf strain. Besides Alcaraz, Martinez has plenty of choices from the squad, including Rodallega who downed us with a goal last season.
With just 5 points in front of 4th-placed Chelsea and 5 points behind 2nd-place Manchester United, 3 points is a must.
COYS!!!!!
