2011-09-10 - Manchester City vs Wigan

A Sports Betting Pick by Cruiser

Match Preview :

After the international break for the Euro 2012 qualifiers Manchester City will get the chance to parade Samir Nasir for his home debut whom they had signed from Arsenal while Owen Hargreaves was another new face after arriving on the final day of August.

Nasri is a slight doubt after breaking a finger while on international duty for France, but is still expected to feature after an exciting first outing in the huge win over Tottenham.

Meanwhile, Wigan will make the short journey to Manchester without fear after an unbeaten start to the season against new-boys Norwich, Swansea and QPR. They will know it will not be easy against a side that have scored 12 goals in a 100 per cent start to their Premier League campaign.

Team News :

Edin Dzeko is likely to keep his place in the City starting line-up after already scoring six league goals since the start of the season. Nasri's injury has not been highlighted much which means he is likely to take to the field.

Micah Richards will hope to have recovered from the hamstring injury which led to him beign released from the England side to face Wales. Nigel de Jong is back from a foot injury which has sidelined him this season, but Gareth Barry (ankle) is a doubt.

Meanwhile, Wigan's three new signings, Shaun Maloney, Albert Crusat and Patrick van Aanholt, are in line to make their start against City. Defenders Steven Gohouri (calf) and Antolin Alcaraz (thigh) are both out and other then that they have no other injuries to report.

Possible lineups

Man City : Hart, Richards, Kompany, Lescott, Clichy, Silva, Barry, Y.Toure, Nasri, Aguero, Dzeko.

Wigan : Al Habsi, Boyce, G.Caldwell, Lopez, Figueroa, Gomez, Diame, Watson, Rodallega, Moses, Maloney.

Predictions :

I expect Manchester City to win this but not more than 2 goals - so it might be worth taking Wigan on the handicap here
