How are the two teams form?

Manchester City is currently 2nd in the Premier League and has won their last two matches. With 15 points between City and the rivals from Manchester United, the Citizens will have to keep focus on adding distance to three London teams Arsenal, Tottenham and Chelsea.

Wigan, on the other hand, is once again to be found in the tough end of the table. Last year they made it clear of the relegation with a streak of good results, and it seems that this season is a replay of last season. The Latics is currently 18th in the League, 3 points from Aston Villa and another season in the company with England's best teams.

What are the probable starting XI's?

Maicon, Richards and Silva, are all doubtful for the match against Wigan while Rodwell is out. Meanwhile, the guests have no injury worries as only Ben Watson is in lack of match fitness.

What to expect from this match?

Both teams are in desperate need of 3 points for different reasons. On paper, Manchester City has a far better team than Wigan and the statistics speak for them selves. Wigan has not taken points against Manchester City since 2009 where they played a 1-1 draw. The Latics last win against Manchester City was back in 2008!

However, Wigan is back on the horse and is unbeaten in 3 matches. They may well cause problems for the Citizens, but will have to go into the match with patience and a defensive mind. Manchester City, on the other hand, has previously lost against sides as Wigan in this season and will have to step up to take 3 points Wednesday.

What are the odds?

Bet365 holds the best bet on a Manchester City win, 1/4, and a draw 11/2. Meanwhile, if you trust in Wigan to take all 3 points 32Red is your bookmaker with a odds 14.
