• Tottenham recorded their biggest ever Premier League win in this fixture with a 9-1 victory at White Hart Lane in November 2009.
• Jermain Defoe has scored 11 goals in 10 Premier League games against Wigan.
• Clint Dempsey has scored six goals against Wigan, more than versus any other opponent in his Premier League career.
• Spurs have won four and lost just one of the last six league meetings with Wigan.
• Tottenham have lost just three of their last 23 Premier League home games, though they were defeated by Chelsea last time on home soil (W15 D5 L3).
• Tottenham have scored at least two goals in their last six Premier League games. Their best such run last season was 11 games.
• No team has conceded more headed goals than Wigan this season (5).
• The Latics have also conceded the most goals from penalties – three.
• Since the 2008-09 season Tottenham have been the strongest Premier League team in November, winning 35 points from 16 games (2.19 a game).
• Of current Premier League players, Jermain Defoe has scored more goals in November than any other player (16).

There is not a strong enough case to be backing Spurs at 2/5 although many punters will have them marked on their accumulator betting slips. Looking at some of the main markets, it is only 8/15 on more than 2.5 goals which again is too short. Spurs have scored 12 of their 17 goals in the second half with Wigan scoring 6 of their 10. Interestingly Spurs have scored and conceded 23/30 in the second hald with Wigan 17/26, so there is a case of taking over 1.5 goals in the second half which is 10/11 with Coral and excellent value.
