Tonight’s Carling League Cup fixture between Arsenal and Wigan could prove to be a real humdinger with the talented young Gunners getting an opportunity to impress, whilst Wigan will be trying their damndest to cause an upset and move through to the next round.
Prior to their 2-1 win over Manchester United this week-end, Arsenal has been battling to find their touch and has failed to impress both the management staff and the legions of unforgiving fans. Wegner may have been bothered with injuries but even the normally implacable Austrian has been feeling the heat of consecutive below par performances by his men.
The derby win on Saturday has come at exactly the right time for the men in red and with renewed confidence and the second stringers out to impress, odds are there will be a couple of smashing goals to lift the spirits at the Emirates Stadium tonight.
Wigan manager, Steve Bruce, however will be determined to pull off an unlikely win to make amends for the dismal performance against Stoke and to avoid the ever present relegation zone!
Online bookmaker, bwin, is offering a range of betting options on tonight’s fixture including half time results, number of goals scored and who will go through to the next round. Current match betting odds are Arsenal 1.52, a draw 3.65 and Wigan 5.90.
