Wigan vs Arsenal

9/3- Wigan have come way after being in the relegation zone for nearly the entire first half of the season, they have moved up to the 15^th spot and have managed to clear themselves from the relegation zone by 2 points. They have been good while playing at home and in another home encounter they get ready to take on league leaders Arsenal. Arsenal have come back to winning ways as they defeated AC Milan in a Champions League tie last week after they had drawn three matches continuously. The last time both the teams faced each other was earlier this season and Arsenal won playing at home with a 2-0 score line. The overall record between the two sides show a clear dominator as Arsenal have won all the 5 matches played between the two sides and go into this match as favourites. Also on current for they look to be the better side as they have won 6 of the last 10 matches played while the remaining 4 matches ended as draws. Wigan on the other hand have been a mixed bag as they have won 4, lost 4 and drawn the remaining 2 matches in the last 10 encounters.

Wigan come back to home after a creditable draw against Manchester city in an away tie last week and a similar result here would be satisfying as well. In Bent they have a decent striker as well and with 7 goals already this season he can surely score.

Arsenal on the other hand would want to win and create a four point gap between themselves and the second placed Manchester United, they have been leading the league for virtually the entire season and would not like to choke it off in the end.

Prediction: 1-3, Arsenal win
