Mancity+05 @ 1.44
Wigan are in a disastrous run. Defeats are counting one after another and after 8 points won at the beginning of the season and haven’t got even a point. That kind of results brought them on the bottom of the table and they are now the major candidates for relegation along with Derby.
City are still on the 3rd place with only point behind Manchester United. Although they have made a lot of investments during the summer, almost no one thought that City would have such a flying start of the season. Led by, above all, the fabulous Brazilian Elano, the Citizens have the astounding home score of 8 wins in 8 games.
Wigan striker Emile Heskey is pushing for a starting spot at the JJB Stadium.
Winger Antonio Valencia sat out the defeat at Arsenal because of a knee problem but is expected to return for Steve Bruce’s first match in charge.
City midfielder Geovanni could return to the starting line-up with Elano out because of a hamstring injury.
Darius Vassell, Michael Johnson and Nedum Onuoha are all sidelined through injury but Vedran Corluka and Emile Mpenza have shaken off knocks.
