In the Premier League games on New Years day we have Manchester United traveling to face Wigan Athletic against whome they had so much success since the latics made it to the Premier League, United drop points against Wigan for they first time in the 1-0 away lost apart from that slip up they always come away with a convicing win and I can not see Roberto Martinez team doing any better this time around as United are in great goal scoring form at the moment with Van Perie, Carrick and Young are in great form at the moment.

Manchester United are coming into this match game on the back of a 2 great wins in the league as they have a 7 points advantage over City, United first came from behind to wn against Newcastle United after that they defeated West brom in a routine 2-0 win. Manchester United have 49 points out of 20 games this season and that is their 3rd highest since the inseption of the league, at this point of the season. Sir Alex Ferguson will be missing a Wayne Rooney who is out for another couple of weeks.

[ Match Results and Goals Video ]

35' [0 - 1] J. Hernandez

43' [0 - 2] R.v. Persie

64' [0 - 3] J. Hernandez

88' [0 - 4] R.v. Persie

Wigan on the other hand won their game against Villa the othe day and have 18 points in 20 matches, they are just 1 points ahead of the drop zone and after the run of games on New Years day and 2nd January they might find themsleve in the bottom three if they failed to get anyting against United.

Manchester United have some injury worries, with Rooney, Kagwa, nani out due to injury, Kagwa might make a apperence from bench, although he started against West Brom and played superbly and will be a impact player from United if things go wrong. United have conceded first in the 11 games in the Premier league but such is the form of Van Persie and Hernandez that they do get a goal from now where all the time.

WIGAN ATHLETICS EXPECTED LINEUP:

Al-Habsi, Caldwell, Ramis, Figueroa, Daivd Boyce, Jones, Benni McCarthy, Beausejour, Shaun Maloney, Franco Di Santo, Akono Kone

MANCHESTER UNITED EXPECTED LINEUP:
