Expert Advice

Despite the setback of losing five games already this season, United have forced themselves firmly back into contention in the title race and it\'s difficult to see them slipping up against the Latics. Injuries remain a concern at the back for Sir Alex Ferguson but players are starting to return in defence for the champions while their attack, led by Wayne Rooney, is likely to cause all sorts of problems for the visitors. Wigan have had their moments this season - most notably against Chelsea - but they\'ve also had games they want to forget. On this occasion and bearing in mind their previous record against United, it looks difficult to envisage anything but a comfortable home win but the price looks short on that so go for Btesson\'s price of 1.65 for there to be over 2.5 goals as a better value bet.
