Wigan vs Manchester United - Match Preview

Premier League champions Manchester United travel to Wigan tonight for a tie that could see them move one step closer to their next title victory. Kick-off at the DW Stadium is at 7.45pm and the match is not screened live in the UK. Despite making some good progress from the knee injury that has kept him out for the past month, Wigan striker Hugo Rodallega is expected to sit out of tonight's game. More realistic for his return is the away trip to Arsenal on Monday. Forward Victor Moses is fit again after suffering a slight knock at Chelsea last weekend and is expected to start. David Jones is also close to match fitness but might only manage a place on the bench. Manchester United are expected to make several changes as they attempt to extend their eight-match winning run that has seen them climb to eight points ahead of Manchester City in the table. Paul Scholes is one of those expected to be rested along with Rio Ferdinand, with Tom Cleverley and Chris Smalling looking to get back into the club. Nani (ankle) is also expected to play after making the bench on Sunday in the win over Queens Park Rangers.
