The Preview: Wigan Athletic VS Arsenal FC

Before I start my preview, let me just wish you guys a Very Happy New Year. Now since that’s taken care of, let us start..

After beating the champions, Arsenal travel  North-west of England to face Wigan at the JJB. Last season corresponding fixture was the one which not only ended our title hopes, but also saw 3 goals in 10 mins as the home side produced a marvellous come-back to beat us 3-2.

Here are the last 5(+1) meetings with the club:

18/04-10 Premier League Wigan vs. Arsenal 3:2 11/04-09 Premier League Wigan vs. Arsenal 1:4 09/03-08 Premier League Wigan vs. Arsenal 0:0 13/12-06 Premier League Wigan vs. Arsenal 0:1 10/01-06 Carling Cup Wigan vs. Arsenal 1:0 19/11-05 Premier League Wigan vs. Arsenal 2:3

Thus, we have picked up 10 points out of a possible 15. [ only in the premier league ]..

Trips to the North-west of England have not been that bad for us this season, and as far as I can remember we have only lost to United beating the likes of City, Everton etc.

Injuries:

Cesc Fabregas is not injured but will be suspended for this match after he picked up a yellow card against Chelsea.
