Match Preview : After their impressive 3-1 victory over Chelsea on last Monday, Arsenal travel to Wigan without their captain Cesc Fabregas (pic), who has received his fifth booking of the season during the last encounter. The Gunners are currently 3rd with 35 points with two games in hand while Wigan are 18th with only 19 points in the relegation zone. Mr. Arsene Wenger is likely to rotate his team with Chamakh, Arshavin and Sebastien Squillaci. Diaby or Rosicky will probably come in to replace the captain. However, is Nicklas Bendtner who will likely receive a big opportunity leading the attack against The Lactics.
Wigan coach Roberto Martinez welcomes the return of Honduran Hendry Thomas and Maynor Figueroa after serving a one-match ban on Boxing Day. In their last match, Wigan defeated Wolverhampton 2-1 away from home. Regrettably, Franco di Santo (ankle) and Emmerson Boyce (hamstring) are still not available to come back due to injuries. Maybe Arsenal will look for a revenge to 2-1 defeat against Wigan on last season in April. However, The Gunners have won of their ten league clashes against Wigan. The Latics have only won twice at DW Stadium this season but are undefeated in their last 5 games at home.
