NO ROOM FOR SLIP UPS!---MAN UNITED VS WIGAN ATHLETIC PREVIEW!




There are seasons before when a game against Wigan could easily be seen as a six-pointer, not this one however, as the Latics are one of 3 form teams in the league. 5 wins out of 6 is not something to under-estimate especially in a league that is unforgiving as the Barclays English Premier League.
Manchester United themselves head the form table--but that is largely been attributed to their defence that has gone over 11 hours of league football without letting in a goal. Incredibly, this has come to pass without a regular back 4. Therefore, the absence of Evra and Rio for a further couple of weeks should not affect us on that front.
Since August, we have been at least a game or two behind our rivals, claiming that our games in hand were more or less winnable. Well now it's time to actually let the actions speak. The players need to go into this game with the same determination and resolve they had on Sunday. The bitter truth is that Sunday's victory will count for nothing if we fail to collect three points tonight. Many claim that we dealt Liverpool a psychological blow with our performance on Sunday but that advantage has not yet been driven home. We have to capitalise with our extra games and actually show them how close we are by swapping positions temporarily at the summit of the table.
Hopefully we can. Yes We Can!
John O'Shea will deputise for Evra while Evans will keep his place as Rio is out. Garry may not be able to play two games in a week so Rafael da Silva will come in. Giggs will rest so Carrick should start with Anderson hopefully. Berbatov and Rooney upfront. But I'd like to see Fergie give Tevez games as he's one player I'll mourn over if we lose him. Maradonna has not helped us in that cause as he has solicited for the player's move to Inter Milan.
On a more joyous note, it's good that Wes Brown is near a return to action. I feel that we need to get him as match fit as possible as Vida will miss the San Siro clash next month.
BUT FIRST, LET'S GET WIGAN OUT OF THE WAY!
