PROBABLE LINE-UPS


Wigan Athletic: Al Habsi; Ghouri, Alcaraz, G Caldwell, Figueroa; McCarthy, Thomas, Diame; Moses, Rodallega, N'Zogbia.

Manchester United: van der Sar; Rafael Da Silva, Smalling, Vidic, Evra; Nani, Carrick, Scholes, Giggs; Rooney, Hernandez.

Prediction
United never got out of first gear against Marseille and drew, but a similarly disappointing performance would be just enough to claim the points against the relegation battlers.
 
Wigan Athletic 0-1 Man Utd.
