I can see us doing this one pretty easily.

On Martinez, I'm sure he'll walk into another Premiership job even if Wigan go down. Villa should once again offer him the job.

This ^^

They're playing well and fighting for their place in the league. Plus we have come unstuck against them on more than one occasion at this stage of the season previously.

However, we're at home so I would expect us to win but I'm still apprehensive about this.

Arsenal v Wigan record

Played 17
Arsenal wins 13
Wigan wins 2
Draws 2
Arsenal goals 39
Wigan goals 13

Arsenal at home

Played 9
Won 9
Goals for 23
Against 4

Last Six meetings at Arsenal, Wigan have not scored once.

I know United have never dropped a single point v Wigan, but all points won by Wigan have come at the DW
No matter how well Wigan have played recently, this is a severe home banker

I'm predicting that Al-Habsi will make some good saves demonstrating why he was worthy of the Norway Goalkeeper of the year award in 2004 but eventually we will win through thanks to the quality of our mental strength.

I quite like late night midweek home games.
Looking forward to this one. Think RVP has a decent record v Wigan, can think of a few.
