Fixture Focus - Spurs (22 Nov 09)

Tottenham Hotspur vs Wigan Athletic








After a 2-week hiatus due to internationals, we are back at home to host another visitor from Manchester - Wigan Athletic.

Let us recap on our position on the table - we are currently 4th, and played 12 games, with a total of 22 points. With the exception of Manchester City, which we hoped they would draw against Liverpool, a win against Wigan would continue to secure this last Champions League place for another week.

Spurs would be expecting most players to be back, including our midfield maestro Modric, and possibly the entire defence line (save for Bassong). Gomes would definitely start (and pray so), since our #2 keeper Cudicini was involved in a motorcycle accident.

Wigan had been having an on-off season. Never mind that they had whacked Chelsea, being whacked by Manchester United and Arsenal, and drew with Manchester City, the Wigan side threw up a really good case of expect the unexpected.

Let us not be complacent and continue our quest to Champions League football.

COYS!!!!!
