English Premier
2013-01-01 - Wigan Athletic vs Manchester United
A Sports Betting Pick by Cruiser
Match Preview :
The start of the New Year sees Manchester United travelling to Wigan with the aim of preserving their 7 point lead at the top.
After winning seven of their last eight league encounters, Manchester United heads into 2013 at the top of the Premiership, especially after dispatching off West Brom 2-0 at the Theatre of Dreams last weekend. Sir Alex Ferguson's men will be eager to keep neighbour and rivals Manchester City at a distance as they bid to bring the trophy back to the red side of the city.
Meanwhile Wigan are in 16th spot trailing the leaders by some 31 points and are just a point clear of the relegation zone. They ended their run of three straight defeats after beating Aston Villa 3-0 which will give them a boost coming into this match with the Red Devils. They will be hoping that the big win will be the motivation needed for them to break away from the bottom sides.
They will be hoping they can repeat history as last season they managed to beat Manchester United by 1-0 after Shaun Maloney's goal was enough to give them the win when they met last season. But that was the first time that Wigan had ever recorded points against Manchester United so it will be asking a lot for them to repeat a similar result today.
