Tottenham v Wigan: Preview and Predictions

Tottenham v Wigan 15:00 3rd November: Verdict - Tottenham 1/2

In spite of losing to Chelsea and giving up their winning streak recently, Spurs still look like likely contenders to gain a top four space and they’ll see this game as a big opportunity – especially if Arsenal drop points in the early fixture. 

          Wigan now have an Argentinean international striker in the form of Di Santo – although his chances of beating the likes of Tevez and Aguero to a long-term place in the team are somewhat slim.  He does, however, have even more reason to impress of late (other than to advertise himself to perspective clubs) and could give the Tottenham defence causes for concern.

          In spite of Wigan having a surprisingly effective attack, especially for a side expected to labour in the bottom half of the table, we expect Spurs to win this fixture – they’ll have some things to think about if this isn’t the case. 

          Expect a return to Premiership normality after mid-week embarrassment for both sides.
