Weekend Review - 15 Sep 2012

Manchester United vs Wigan Athletic


International duties are over and we are back to domestic action. Some updates for Champions League, we are grouped with Galatasaray, CFR Cluj and Braga. Sounds an easy group like last season, yet Man Utd still got dumped out of the group stages and to the Europa League. Hopefully Man Utd will learnt their lesson and never underestimated any team. Whereas for Man City, they are in a Group of Death which have Real Madrid, Ajax and Borussia Dortmund.

We will be facing Wigan Athletic where we lost to them for the first time last season since they promoted to Premier League in 2005. And coincidentally, it was an unbeatan run that Wigan gone through at the turn of the year and beat the drop. Furthermore, they actually have a winter break during the festive season. Still need further proof for England to perform better in World Cup and European Championship?

Roberto Martinez is also another manager that embraced possession football. But some key players have left and the most notable is Victor Moses. Man Utd on the other hand is, wait for this, short of strikeforce as Van Persie and Rooney are injured. Danny Welbeck and Hernandez are waiting for this chance.

Man Utd is giving 1.75 handicap. Doubtful that the handicap will clear. No punt.
