The Latics’ defending is what has really cost them in recent week as they have conceded at least two goals in their last seven Premier League matches.
Although they have good attacking players, Roberto Martinez knows that his men cannot score three goals in every game they play – so will be looking for a solid defensive performance against an Arsenal side that have a number of quality players going forward.
The Spaniard will still be without key defenders Gary Caldwell, Adrian Lopez & Antolin Alcaraz for the visit of Arsene Wenger’s side, and with James McCarthy set to miss out with an ankle injury, the problems seem to be mounting up for the relegation threatened club.
With this being the early kick-off however, Wigan do have the chance to move out of the bottom three and pile the pressure on the teams around them to pick up points later in the day. Those looking to back the Latics can take a price of 4/1, which definitely looks a backable price.
As for Arsenal, it might have been a tough campaign for them so far, but they do look to be in a strong position.
They have now won back-to-back top flight matches and know that a good run of results over Christmas could leave them in a Champions League spot.
The Gunners stuck five past Reading last time out and Santi Cazorla was the star of the show as he netted a hat-trick. If the Spaniard can put in a similar performance here, then Arsene Wenger’s men should be taking all three points.
Theo Walcott might be given his chance to play as a striker once more after impressing and scoring on Monday evening, as the 8/11 on the away win looks sure to attract plenty of attention.
It does make for a very interesting 90 minutes of action that all gets underway from 12.45PM.
The late game in the Premiership sees Liverpool take on Fulham at Anfield as Mark Clattenburg takes charge of a game for the first time since the Chelsea/Jon Obi Mikel fiasco.
Its been a healthy few weeks for Brendan Rogers side, however the Reds came back down to earth with a bump last week with Christian Benteke firing Aston Villa to an impressive 3-1 victory as the former Swansea boss looks to bring in Thomas Ince from Blackpool to bolster his attacking options.
Its only one win in six now for Martin Jol’s side as the Cottagers find themselves in thirteenth place as the 6/1 on the away win reflects how badly the side have played in recent months.
Its sure to be a classic Saurday of football in the Premier League.
