This week FootyMad's match preview focuses on the game between Arsenal
and Wigan Athletic at 18:45 GMT on 14th May 2013 in the Premier League.
Arsenal have been playing quite well at home, winning 3, drawing 2,
and losing just 1. A total of 10 goals have been scored by the Gunners
in those games, with 5 conceded.
Wigan Athletic have an average
recent record on the road, picking up two good wins, but losing three,
from the last six. The Latics's have scored 8 goals in these games, but
conceded an alarming 10.
Arsenal is 10-4-3 in the Premier League since January, and hasn't lost a
game in the last eight. They haven't got any new injury worries either.
Oliver Giroud is out through suspension. Wenger has plenty of attacking
options though, so he has no excuses.
Wigan triumphed in the FA Cup final and will come into this game on a
high. They'll need that against a motivated Arsenal side that won't
underestimate them. Wigan hasn't reported new injuries, but Beausejour,
Figueroa and Stam will still be out.
