Game: Wigan Athletic vs Manchester City
Competition: Barclays Premier League
Venue: DW Stadium
Time: 16:00 GMT

Wigan host high-flying Manchester City on Sunday. With the international break causing more harm to City than Wigan, the hosts would fancy their chances against a depleted City outfit. City have been unsettled by rumours surrounding Robinho. Will it affect their on-filed play ? If you think so, you should go for a Wigan win.

Here are some excellent bookmakers for you to place a bet. Be sure to read our preview before heading over to bet.

Form guide –Wigan (most recently played game on top)
v. Hull City (Loss) 1-2 (Sinclair)
v. Chelsea (Win) 3-1 (Rodallega, Scharner, Bramble)
v. Arsenal (Loss) 0-4
v. West Ham (Win) 1-0 (Rodallega)

Wigan failed to consolidate on their home win against Chelsea, losing 1-2 to a underperforming Hull City side. But Roberto Martinez’s men have the ability to raise their game in big games. Having beaten Villa and Chelsea already this season, City would be the next target for the giant-killers. Wigan have no selection issues and have a full squad to choose from. The height in Wigan’s team could prove to be a worry for the City side.

Form guide – Manchester City (most recently played game on top)
v. Aston Villa (Draw) 1-1 (Bellamy)
v. West Ham United (Win) 3-1 (Tevez*2, Petrov)
v. Fulham (Win) 2-1 (aet) (Barry,Toure)
v. Manchester United(Loss) 3-4 (Barry, Bellamy *2)

Although Manchester City have been imperious at home, they have been dropped points away to Villa and Manchester United. Mark Hughes has a lot of selection worries for the game. Craig Bellamy, Martin Petrov, Kolo Toure, Pablo Zabaleta, Wayne Bridge and Joeleon Lescott are all doubtful starters. Robinho and Nedum Onouha are still injured and Vincent Kompany is not upto match fitness. With the absence of so many players, Hughes might be forced to blood in Academy youngsters, which could prove detrimental to the outcome of the game.

Match verdict:- In normal circumstances, City would have been favorites to win this one. But with the massive injury list, I predict a draw.
