Wigan Athletic take on Manchester City at The DW Stadium on Sunday and BBC pundit the ex-Liverpool defender Mark 'Lawro` Lawrenson has done his usual weekly forecast for the beeb and he predicts that the Latics will get a win against City even though the big spenders have broken into the top four, let`s see what his reasons are:
Wigan v Man City
Man City have a really poor record at Wigan, I believe, but they've never quite had this quality of squad have they?
But City have had so many players on international duty in South America and Africa in the last couple of weeks, I think the sheer extent of the travelling might have an effect on some of them.
That's why I'm going for a Wigan win. Roberto Martinez will want the same result as when they beat Chelsea at home, and with Hendry Thomas and Mohamed Diame patrolling the midfield, they might pull it off.
Verdict: 2-1
Well Lawro I totally agree with you I also predict a 2-1 win for the Latics…great minds and all that
