Manchester United - Wigan Athletic
Three And Easy
Manchester United will not be short of confidence for the visit of Wigan Athletic. The reigning champions’ 3-0 demolition of Chelsea at the weekend saw them make up ground on the league leaders Liverpool, and another win will take them up to second, ominously just two points behind Rafael Benitez's men
Wednesday’s game is the first of the Red Devils’ games in hand and a win on Wednesday followed by another on Saturday at Bolton Wanderers could see Sir Alex Ferguson’s men top the Premier League table by the time Liverpool are next in action.
The European champions have never lost to Wigan, and cruised to a 4-0 win against Steve Bruce’s men at Old Trafford last season.
They also have fond memories of the return fixture which they won 2-0 on the final day of last season, a result that crowned them Premier League champions for the second successive season.
Dizzy Heights
However, Wednesday’s visitors to Old Trafford are one of the Premier League’s most in-form sides.
The Latics have won their last four league games on the bounce, a superb run that has seen them move up to seventh place in the table.
Wigan boss Steve Bruce has admitted it is a delight to manage his side at the moment and has demanded a strong performance at Old Trafford so his players can prove they deserve their lofty league position.
Bruce’s men have never been higher than their current position in the Premier League, and they have also never beaten one of the top four, a record their boss will be hoping to end at a club where he spent nine years as a player.
Manchester United
Manchester United have defensive problems with both Patrice Evra and Rio Ferdinand out injured, meaning John O’Shea and Jonny Evans will continue to deputise.
Possible Starting XI: Van der Sar, Neville, Vidic, Evans, O’Shea, Ronaldo, Anderson, Carrick, Scholes, Rooney, Berbatov
Wigan Athletic
Steve Bruce is expected to stick with the same starting XI that defeated Tottenham Hotspur last time out.
Possible Starting XI: Kirkland, Melchiot, Scharner, Bramble, Figueroa, Valencia, Palacios, Cattermole, Taylor, Heskey, Zaki.

Manchester shouldn't have any problems in thins match: my bets United win to nil; United win by 2 or more goals. 3-0 corect score.
