Football Prediction
Manchester United travels to the The DW Stadium to play Wigan in the FA Cup third-round contest on Monday evening.
Wigan famously won the FA Cup in 2012-13, beating Manchester City in the final, while Man United have lifted the trophy on 12 occasions, with their last success in the competition coming in 2015-16. Wigan will enter Monday’s glamorous tie off the back of a 1-1 draw with Barnsley in League One with Man United doing everything to end a bad run of games in recent weeks.
H2H / Stats
The team’s only victory over Man United was a 1-0 success at home in the Premier League in April 2012.
Games played: 19
Manchester United wins: 18
Draws: 0
Wigan wins: 1
Team News
Wigan will be without the services of Tom Pearce and Jason Kerr for the contest through injury, while Stephen Humphrys and Scott Smith are major doubts for the home side. There will also be no James Balagizi, with his loan spell from Liverpool coming to an end ahead of the match.
Man United will have goalkeeper Andre Onana available for this contest, Sofyan Amrabat, though, is joining up with Morocco for the tournament and will therefore not be available. Man United’s injury situation will ease in January, with Luke Shaw, Tyrell Malacia, Lisandro Martinez, Mason Mount, Victor Lindelof, Harry Maguire, Casemiro and Anthony Martial all expected to return in the near future, with the majority potentially available against Spurs next weekend.
Probable Line Up
Wigan XI: Tickle; Clare, Hughes, Morrison, Sessegnon; Shaw, Adeeko; McManaman, Lang, Godo; Magennis
Manchester United XI: Onana; Wan-Bissaka, Varane, Evans, Dalot; McTominay, Mainoo; Garnacho, Fernandes, Rashford; Hojlund
Verdict
Manchester United might be having problems of their own but they should see off Wigan in this tie. Most of their injured players are returning and they should field a strong squad for the Monday night tie.
