    Tottenham Hotspur host Bolton Wanderers (one of the 12 founder members of the Football League in 1888-89) in the 14th round of Premier League matches on Saturday 3rd December 2011 (13th game for Spurs).

    Spurs come into the game in third place in the table on 28 points after a run of 11 unbeaten matches in which they've won ten and drawn one, giving them their best start to a season since the 1960-61 "Double" was won. By contrast, Bolton have struggled this season and are in 18th place in the table on 9 points.

    This will be the 103rd time the two teams have met.

    The first meeting came at Northumberland Park in April 1898 when Spurs were playing in the Southern League in a friendly which was drawn 2-2. A further friendly was played at the same venue in November 1899 which Spurs won 4-0.

    The clubs first met in Football League action during Tottenham's first season in the competition with Spurs winning both matches 2-1 at home and 1-0 away during 1908-09.

    Both clubs were promoted to the First Division the next season and Spurs drew 1-1 at White Hart Lane and won 2-0 at Burnden Park.

    The first FA Cup meeting came in the 2nd round (today's 4th round) in season 1924-25 with Bolton earning a 1-1 draw at White Hart Lane but losing their home replay 1-0.

    Bolton had the best of the first Football League Cup meeting between the clubs, winning 6-1 at home in the 4th round in November 1996.

    Spurs got a 2-2 home draw in the first Premier League meeting in December 1995 and followed this with a 3-2 away win in March 1996.

    During the 2009-10 season, Spurs took four points out of six off Bolton with a 2-2 away draw at the Reebok and a 1-0 win at the Lane.

    The teams were also drawn together in the 5th round of the FA Cup with Spurs drawing 1-1 away and finishing the job 4-0 at the Lane, which included two Bolton own goals.

    Bolton won last season's fixture at the Reebok Stadium in November 4-2 with a Kevin Davies brace and goals from Gretar Steinsson and Martin Petrov while Tottenham's goals came from Alan Hutton and Roman Pavlyuchenko.

    The return game at White Hart Lane in February 2001 resulted in a 2-1 win for Spurs. Rafael van der Vaart scored a 6th minute penalty but Bolton equalised through Daniel Sturridge, on loan from Chelsea, in the 55th minute. Niko Kranjcar's injury time thunderbolt ensured that all three points went to Tottenham.

    Honours remain even during the Premier League Era with 9 wins each with 6 matches drawn.

    Overall, Spurs have the edge over Bolton with 45 wins to 37 with 20 matches out of the 102 played so far drawn.

    Not too confident about the game, dispite the stats showing we aren't too bad against you.

    Good thread though <ok>
