Premiership on Saturday

Chelsea V Wigan

Looking at the premiership coupon its hard to see any real value. Arsenal are too short and theres not too many other angles on that game so il go with Chelsea. Again, the price is very short but Chelsea do look like home bankers. They have struggled a bit recently but new gaffer Hiddink has got two massive wins since he came and maybe things are on the way up again for them. The real problem has been scoring goals. Their defence has been mean enough but goals are the Achilles heal. Drogba is a shadow of the player he was and Anelka is now the main man and the top scorer. Since Liverpool beat their unbeaten record a few months back, Chelsea look like their confidence has been rattles. Luckily for them, a new manager, some good results and the season may yet get back on track.
Wigan have been struggling lately in the Premier League but considering the amount of players that have left the club its hardly surprising. They still have a good ranking in the table and are most definitely safe but where do they go from here? They wont get into Europe and wont go down so from now on I guess its all about securing that mid table position and giving the fans something to cheer about. Wigan drew their last four games, while the last three were goalless draws. Bruce realises that they are not the best going forward but is playing to his strengths and they are a tough side to break down. Mido and Valencia are doubtful but otherwise Bruce has a full squad to chose from.

Verdict
Wigan will come to defend, Chelsea really need the win and need to keep the pressure on Liverpool for that second place. They have the players and just need to get it right. One of the days they will click and destroy a team 4 or 5 nil. It wont happen today but thy should still be good enough to win this 1 or 2 - 0

PICK
Chelsea to win to nil (1.83 @ skybet) 4 points
Anelka 1st goalscorer (5.5 @ VC) 1 point
