Tonight we head to the DW Stadium, where another good result will send us into the new year in a great position. On paper its a result we should walk but the Christmas period often sprouts some odd results.
I'm thinking the line-up will look something like the below, though changes might be made due to fitness or knocks after the Chelski game.
|
Fabianski |
||||
| Sagna |
Squillaci Koscielny |
Clichy | ||
|
Song Wilshire |
||||
| Walcott | Robin Van Persie | Nasri | ||
|
Chamakh |
||||
With Cesc being injured, I expect Wenger to swap about some players about. I expect Chamakh to return and perhaps with RvP in a withdrawn creative role behind. Its difficult to predict the line-ups but I hope it looks something like the above. You never want to change a winning side.
In terms of a result, we should get this. Wigan are a battling side who have improved massively since the start of the season. Ali Al-Habsi has been playing extremely well in goal and they have been defending better too. Their main issue is scoring goals, their strikers could hardly be called prolific.
Not to dismiss them, with weary legs this is a tough encounter, but there's noone i'd rather play off the back of the Chelsea result. Lets banish the memory of last season, hit them for about 6 and have a great party in the DW. Let them eat pie and we will run riot.
