    Got excited when I saw Richards was injured but it's only a precaution so he's back for us <grr>

    Very attacking, if slightly wonky, line-up from City.
    No striker on the bench for them, which suggests that Balotelli really was injured when he was subbed against Liverpool.

    I've always hated Wigan for their awful pitch.

    fk!! 1 nil....we just cant lose to them on Sunday...if there has been a make or break then for me its Sunday..we cant afford to go 8 points behind even after such a brilliant run...it can blow the wind out of the sails

    Wigan's defense is one of the worst in the Prem. I would be amazed if City failed to score against them.

    but how is Wigan's attack?

    they need to score...its like clutching at straws when you rely on Wigan!

    They don't look too bad going forward, IMO.The final ball seems to let them down. But then City's defense is one of the best in the Prem. Albeit, without Kompany.

    They've got a couple of strikers on the bench too, but I'm not holding out much hope, to be honest.

    Wigan seem a bit more lively this half..is it because City have already parked the bus thus allowing Wigan more space to run from midfield onwards....

    Thierry Henry is playing at the back for Wigan now! :D

    You get plenty of chances against City atm, Wigan have been unlucky...numerous times. We can do these, on the other hand we may well lose, but I've got no fear going into this game at all.

    Mancini's a very lucky man.
    Extremely negative substitutions and tactics.

    Its got bore draw written all over it, for both sides mentally, a loss will have a far more negative effect, than a wins positive effect imo...if that makes sense.

    Hope you guys win would rather see spurs there rather than Utd and City. Some Liverpool fans might want to see you lose because they still think there's a chance of us catching you. <laugh>
