Summary: One of the form team's in the Premier League, in Wigan, do battle against one of the biggest dissapointments of the season, in Tottenham. Wigan have won 4 of their last 6 EPL contests and will be eager to exact revenge on today's opponents after their 3-1 defeat in the FA Cup last week. Tottenham can look at this game with some optimism after their cup exploits, recording back to back victories in the FA Cup and Carling Cup. Left-back Assou Ekotto is out through suspension while Defoe makes his debut after his transfer from Portsmouth. Wigan have a fully fit squad to choose from apart from long term absentee in Sibierski.

Verdict: Tottenham's star players in Pavlyuchenko and Modric are beginning to shine with some bright performances in recent weeks. Add to this the freshness that Jermaine Defoe will bring to the side and Spurs can look at this fixture as a great opportunity to jump seven places up the table.

Pick: Tottenham +0.25, 8/10 @1.00 at 188Bet
