Manchester United: 2/7 Bet Victor

Manchester United are firm favourites in this Saturdays clash and are best priced at 19/5 with Pinnacle. The red devils have been poor in defence this season, conceding 4 in their last 2 games against inferior opposition. They will be hoping to change this with the return of Johnny Evans shoring up the United defence. Fergie’s super summer signing Van Persie has been the man to watch and after scoring a hat-trick last time round he is a good bet at 2/1 with Ladbrokes to score at any time. United have been dominant against Wigan in previous corresponding games, winning the last seven previous ties at old Trafford, scoring twenty-four and conceding just once. Looking at this, with United scoring over three goals in three out of their five previous meetings, united to score over 3.5 goals are looking good at 14/5 with Sporting Bets. The expectations around Old Trafford are very high and although it has been a shaky start in the North West, Fergie will see this as an easy 3 points to continue the pressure on Premier League front-runners Chelsea, even though it is early on into this season.

Wigan: 16/1 – Blue Square

Wigan’s expectations will be far lower than their counterparts United, and sit as far outsiders, best priced at 16/1 with 888sport and Bet Victor. Last season, Wigan looked destined for relegation but with a stunning seven wins in nine towards the end of last season they managed to stay up and fight once more. However, they go into this year much weakened with the departures of Victor Moses and Hugo Rodalegga Wigan’s key players. Nonetheless, they go into this game sitting in 9^th position in the Premier League after two wins, one draw and a loss, a position which is very respectable for Roberto Martinez’ men. If Wigan are to get anything out of this game they will need their top goal-scorer Franco Di Santo to be on top form against what is a very rusty United defence at the moment. Franco Di Santo is a good bet to score at any time, best priced at 91/20 with Youwin.
