PROBABLE LINEUPS |

Tottenham
 Friedel Walker, Dawson, Kaboul, Assou-Ekotto Lennon, Parker, Modric, Bale Van der Vaart Adebayor |
Wigan
 Al-Habsi Boyce, Gohouri, Caldwell, Figueroa Watson, McArthur, McCarthy Moses, Gomez Sammon |
As ever, you may as well toss a coin to predict the involvement of Ledley King. He was rested for the Watford FA Cup game but it may be more likely to see him emerge at Anfield on the weekend rather than at home to Wigan.
Long-term injuries rule out Jermaine Jenas and David Bentley whilst Tom Huddlestone's recovery from an ankle layoff remains a gradual process. Vedran Corluka is also ruled out.
Wigan will be without Antolin Alcaraz again after failing to recover in time from a groin strain. David Jones and Shaun Maloney however, should make themselves available for the trip to White Hart Lane, while Roberto Martinez may look to include new signing Jean Beausejour

The Togolese centre-forward returned to Spurs action on Friday against Watford but spent the entire second half in a daze. Much of Tottenham's success revolves around the movement and tenacity Adebayor has shown since returning to north London and Redknapp will be hoping to get more out of him against Wigan.
| Victor Moses | |
| Position: | Midfielder |
| Squad Number: | 11 |

Wigan's main threat will be Moses. The tricky winger has the advantage of being able to use either foot and his strong, pacey running style has opened up many of the Latics best chances this season. He can be guilty of selfish decision making around the opposition box and will have to be entirely focussed at White Hart Lane as Wigan will look to him for inspiration.
Wigan won 1-0 here last season in the early stages of the campaign, a complete contrast to the 9-1 pasting they received two years ago and so will arrive with belief. Nonetheless this is a Tottenham team superior to last year's outfit, and though they could not find a winning goal against Wolves in their last home match, I don't fancy Wigan's defence to be as stout - particularly with Antolin Alcaraz missing. This is a Tottenham win for me.
