Just nine days after their F.A. Cup meeting at White Hart Lane, Wigan will host Tottenham at the JJB on Sunday. Steve Bruces side havehad a fantastic season, Walker Buehler Jersey thus far, and, although nobody is safe this season, the seventh-place side look in no trouble of succumbing to relegation. The North London outfit have performed to the highest standard in one and a half of the opening two games of 2009. Both being in cup competitions, Harry Redknapps side look to replicate that form in the Premiership, something they havent been able to do in a while.Team NewsJermain Defoe is available after his return to the capital was completed yesterday afternoon. Spurs are also boosted by the returning Englishman, Jermaine Jenas, Logan Forsythe Jersey Tom Huddlestone and Darren Bent, who have all Rich Hill Jersey mi sed out due to injury. Benoit A sou-Ekotto is serving the last of a three-match suspension. David Bentley has been deployed on the left wing in recent matches, but has been shocking after the hype of Redknapps confidence boosting has faded away. Although he was withdrawn at half time in Tuesday nights Carling Cup tie against Burnley, he will probably be persisted with. Giovani Dos Santos has also returned and will hopefully Hyun-Jin Ryu Jersey be brought on around the 70 minute mark.

On paper, Jenas and Modric are probably the two best players in there, but Harry likes to have Kenta Maeda Jersey a slightly defensive midfielder in there to helpthe little Croationout.Nobody likes the phrase must-win game, but I feel it is vital we come away with three points on Sunday to keep the run of form going and keep the confidence up.No we havent signed Oliver Twist!
