  Squad sheets: Manchester United v Wigan Athletic

   

   

  Wigan have taken points off Chelsea and Liverpool in their last two games but their record against Manchester United suggests this might be an afternoon when Roberto Martínez's team will be happy just to keep their respectability. The two sides have met only 13 times in their history, United have won them all and outscored their opponents 41 to four. Sir Alex Ferguson's team have 11 goals in their last three matches and the champions will see this as a chance to apply pressure on the leaders, Manchester City.

  Maybe a draw? Wigan are currently quite an on form side looking for their 3rd straight win away from home... Even Chelsea couldn't beat them last week...

  So cannot look down on them.

  wigan one man down and 2 goals down. united should go for more goals to improve goal difference if it comes down to it.

  berbatov scored a penalty, his hat trick after park was brought down. more more more goals

  United lucky again :) Wigan players screwed up when clear on goal twice. Rooney making all sorts of misplaced passes when he came on. Macheda's final ball always poor. So 5-0 scoreline flatters to deceive. So on Jan 1, city play sunderland away, then 2 days later they host liverpool. Very interesting. Jan 4 utd play newcastle and it would be extremely mind titillating because they were frustrated by them at old trafford.

  Ok conclusion, we see utd go top by the first week of Jan. Keep fingers crossed.

  Massive Win

  At the end of the day, you have to score goal to win.

  Man Utd have the mindset and experience of making it 20th BPL title this season.

  Alex still got his tactics up his sleeve.

  He can recover even when he is down.

  That is why Man Utd hard to beat.

  this season united and city are 50:50 for the title. the decider is the match at city home ground. whoever wins will go on to win the title, I believe.
