History of the Wigan Athletic v Tottenham Hotspur fixture

Wigan Ath. prepare to entertain Tottenham Hotspur at JJB Stadium on Sunday afternoon, hoping to break their duck against the visitors. Though past meetings have resulted in more draws than losses for Latics.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at JJB Stadium was less than a year ago, in April 2008, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1-1 final scoreline in a Premier League match.
