i predict manu to win narrowly, considering how their attacking form produces many chances but few goals.
manu to win 2-1. scorer to be roma's killer, rooney.
MANU FTW!

Who will ferguson start? Saha or tevez?
And who will play in the midfield role? Maybe O'shea? I hope Wes Brown is fit enough to start... -

Bramble "Star man" on the Wigan side.
Bramble had a good game against Liverpool marking Torres out.
Don't play play... -
I prefer Saha to come off the bench in the second half when the opposition players are tired out becuz that is where his speed is most effective..

its okOriginally posted by zocoss:Opps... sorry, i didn't know there was one already... waste my time only... -
two ways of looking at it, use his speed to tire out the defenders, and draw the defenders from rooney for him to score an early goal...Originally posted by 4getmenot:I prefer Saha to come off the bench in the second half when the opposition players are tired out becuz that is where his speed is most effective..
rem, mu favourite tactics, 1-0 win... -
Brown remains a doubt
knee injury could keep Wes Brown out of United's Barclays Premier League clash with Wigan on Saturday.
The defender picked up the knock in the 1-0 win at Birmingham last Saturday and was subsequently ruled out of the Reds' Champions League victory over Roma on Tuesday.
He is still struggling with the injury and remains a doubt for Wigan's lunchtime visit to Old Trafford.
"Wes is a bit doubtful," revealed Sir Alex Ferguson at his pre-match press briefing. "I'm going to see how he is after training on Friday. But we've got cover in that area."
John O'Shea is likely to step into the right back slot, as he did against Roma. Meanwhile, Sir Alex says he has a choice to make between Ryan Giggs and Anderson as to who replaces the injured Michael Carrick in central midfield.
"Without Michael Carrick, Owen Hargreaves and Darren Fletcher, we have a job to do in terms of picking another centre midfield player," said the boss. "We've got Anderson and Giggs, and I think one of them could supply the answer to that." -
oh nos...Originally posted by Dead_Man_Inc:Brown remains a doubt
i think he's gonna pick Giggs over Anderson. Although, i would love to see Anderson play.

vs
Manchester Utd v Wigan
Manchester United may use Ryan Giggs or Anderson in central midfield with Owen Hargreaves and Michael Carrick both ruled out through injury. Wes Brown is a doubt with a knee injury and keeper Edwin van der Sar is also still out so Tomasz Kuczszak continues.
Wigan could be without striker Antoine Sibierski with a hamstring strain. Denny Landzaat is available again after recovering from a fractured eye socket, while winger Antonio Valencia is ready to return from a knee injury.
KEY PLAYER NOTES
MANCHESTER UNITED
RONALDO has scored four goals in his last three league and League Cup appearances against Wigan. Louis SAHA and RONALDO are the only Manchester United players to have scored more than a single goal (two each).
SAHA is United's top Premier League marksman, with two goals. Ryan GIGGS is a double short of 100 career League goals.
Patrice EVRA, Rio FERDINAND, Paul SCHOLES and Nemanja VIDIC have been on the field for every minute of every one of Manchester United's Premier League matches this season. Edwin VAN DER SAR leads the race for the Barclays Golden Glove, with Liverpool's Jose REINA. Both have kept five clean sheets.

Antoine SIBIERSKI is Wigan's leading scorer with three Premier League goals. Only Titus BRAMBLE, Chris KIRKLAND and Mario MELCHOIT have been on the field for every minute of every one of Wigan's Premier League matches this season.
HEAD TO HEAD
Cristiano Ronaldo emerged from the bench to spark a second-half triumph in this corresponding fixture on Boxing Day last year. The 3-1 victory sent Manchester United four points clear at the top of the Premier League table.
