Gary Caldwell has given away seven penalties in the space of two years
Wigan were shock winners of this fixture last season, however the omens don't bode well for them to repeat that success this time around...
Tottenham are one of only two teams in Premier League history to score nine goals in a match, when they beat Wigan 9-1 at home in November 2009.
Defoe is one of only four players to score five goals in a single match, which he managed against Wigan in that 9-1 win.
Tottenham have drawn 99 Premier League home games.
Wigan have committed the highest number of fouls in the Premier League this season (292).
The Latics have conceded the most penalties in the Premier League (8) but Ali Al Habsi has saved four of them.
Wigan have also won the most penalties in the top flight this season.
Gary Caldwell has given away more than twice as many penalties as any other Premier League player since Jan 2010 (7).
Wigan have scored a higher percentage of goals from outside the penalty area than any other Premier League side.
Only David Silva (12) and Antonio Valencia (8) have more assists than Gareth Bale (7) this season.
Wigan have won none of their last seven Premier League games (W0 D3 L4) and have kept just one clean sheet in their last 19 matches.
