Wigan Athletic host Tottenham Hotspur at the DW Stadium on Saturday 27th April (KO 15:00) in the 35th Round of the 2012-13 Premier League season.

Wigan come into the match in 18th place in the Table with 31 points, while Spurs are 5th in the Table on 61 points.

This will be the 17th time the two teams have met since Wigan Athletic gained promotion to the Premier League in the 2005-06 season.

Wigan Athletic were formed in 1932 after the demise of Wigan Borough and they gained their Football League status in 1978.

The first meeting between the two clubs came at Wigan's JJB Stadium in November 2005 and resulted in a 2-1 win for Spurs with goals from Robbie Keane and Edgar Davids. Wigan's goal was scored by Lee McCulloch late in the game.

The reverse fixture at White Hart Lane in February 2006 was a 2-2 draw with Tottenham's goals coming from Mido and Jermain Defoe and Wigan's from Andreas Johansson who had put the Lancashire club ahead twice.

Spurs also took four points off Wigan in the 2006-07 season with a 3-1 home win in November 2006 with goals from Jermain Defoe, Dimitar Berbatov and Aaron Lennon after Wigan's Henri Camara had put the Lattics ahead.

The points were shared in a 6-goal thriller at the JJB Stadium in April 2007 with a goal from Dimitar Berbatov and a Robbie Keane brace for Spurs while Emil Heskey, Leighton Baines and Paul Scharner were on the scoresheet for Wigan.

Tottenham Hotspur once again took four Premier League points off Wigan in the 2007-08 season with a 4-0 win at the Lane in November 2007. Jermaine Jenas scored twice and there were also goals for Aaron Lennon and Darren Bent.

Dimitar Berbatov scored for Spurs in the 1-1 draw at Wigan in April 2008 with Emil Heskey grabbing the equaliser.

The 2008-09 season saw Wigan take four points after a goalless draw at White Hart Lane and a 1-0 win in January 2009 thanks to Maynor Figueroa injury time winner.

Spurs beat Wigan in the FA Cup third round that season 3-1 with a brace of goals from Roman Pavlyuchenko and one from Luka Modric. Wigan's goal was scored by Henri Camara.

Maximum points were taken by Spurs in the 2009-10 season after a massive 9-1 home win in November 2009, which saw Jermain Defoe become only the third player after Alan Shearer and Andy Cole to score five goals in a Premier League match. There were also goals from Peter Crouch, Aaron Lennon, Niko Krajcar and David Bentley. Wigan's goal was scored by Paul Scharner. Amazingly enough, Spurs only led 1-0 at half-time and the eight goals scored in the second half by Spurs all came within 39 minutes.

Jermain Defoe's goal and a brace from Roman Pavlyuchenko saw Spurs to a 3-0 win at Wigan in February 2010. 2010-11 was another good one for Wigan, who took four points off Spurs. They won 1-0 at White Hart Lane in August 2010 with a second half goal from Hugo Rodallega. The match at the DW Stadium was goalless.

The away fixture earlier last season in September 2011 resulted in a 2-1 win from Spurs with goals from Rafael van der Vaart after just 3 minutes and Garerth Bale after 23 minutes. Wigan pulled a goal back through Mohamed Diame five minutes into the second half, but had Steve Gohouri sent off after receiving a second yellow card.

Spurs went two goals up from Gareth Bale and Luka Modric in the first half of the match at White Hart Lane in January 2012 and Bale added a third goal before James McArthur scored 10 minutes from time to make it Tottenham 3-1 Wigan.

Wigan won 1-0 at White Hart Lane in November 2012 with Ben Watson scoring the match winning goal after 56 minutes.

Overall, Spurs have won 8 of the 16 matches played so far with Wigan winning 3 and 5 matches drawn.

Re: Tottenham Hotspur v Wigan Athletic Match History 2005-2013

THFC6061 in premature ejaculation shocker.
 
Will Gareth Bale become the first Spurs player to score 20 Premier League goals since Jurgen Klinsmann achieved the feat in 1994-95?

I fancy him to score a goal or two against Wigan on Saturday.

It would be rather nice if he did.
 
So, if I've read correctly, our league record there is P7 W3 D3 L1 (43% of available points dropped). We mustn't underestimate Wigan. They've won their last two at home, and it's important we build on the momentum of Sunday's win with another 3 points up there, or I can see our confidence taking a nose-dive at just the wrong time. I have to back us to win it, but it ain't going to be easy, and we all know it would be so much like Spurs to take the first opportunity to puncture all Sunday's balloons. 2-1 Spurs, Bale and Defoe on target.

I think I'm going to be quietly confident of finishing top 4 if we win at Wigan. Will be very difficult though.

I think I'm going to be quietly confident of finishing top 4 if we win our next 4 games and are 3-0 up on the last day. Would still be a bit nervous though!

Yep - if we draw on Sat all the hard work from last Sun will have been un-done. AVB needs to really gee the players up, stress the important of it and get them to treat it like a cup final

Really hope that we have Lennon back for this however my fear is that he'll be on the bench at best. When he plays, teams have to defend so much wider which in turn creates space for Bale and others in the middle. Also read that Bale was still getting pain from his injury in the Man C game - hope AVB has given him a couple days off this week.

Anyone seen any news on teletext or other such sources re Lennon?

If it's one thing I can't stand in OMT's, it's a lack of effort.

We'll be lucky if we draw this now. Let's hope Gareth can 'Bale' you out of this one.

I'm actually finding it difficult to pick my first XI for this now.

Wiggana win this.

3-0.

Mark my words.
 
We need Pav back for this one. His sub appearance was the beginning of his re-emergence as one of the best strikers in the world.
 
Altolin Alcaraz has been ruled out for 3 weeks for Wigan.

Thats a big blow for them - he has been quite good according to reports, since he returned from a long term injury
 
Any chance we start with the team that finished the game against City? Or will it be back to 4231 with Parker, Ade and a completely unbalanced attacking midfield?
