Hi guys. I am very sorry because there was no update on match preview & player rating during the Reds last outing at Villa Park. Mr I was at his home town and suddenly the Boxing Day has started. The Reds will start their boxing day at DW Stadium. The match will start at 20:00 local time. Malaysian can watch at Stadium Astro channel 813 from 03:55, Thursday morning.
Wigan was impressive in their 2 last games; won against West Bromwich & steal a point from Chelsea. Wigan currently sits 18th of the table (in the relegation zone) with 13 points. Wigan last 5 home matches stands at DLDLL.
Liverpool last outing was 2 – 0 win against Aston Villa. Liverpool currently sits at 6th in the table with 29 points, same as Arsenal. A win against Wigan will put the Reds at 5th position, depending on Arsenal results, which will kick-off earlier. The Reds last 5 away matches stands at WLWWW.
It is interesting to see how Liverpool will start the match. Is it with or without Luis Suarez who serving 8 matches ban following misconduct towards Patrice Evra. The ban will start to kick in Liverpool v Oldham (FA Cup). Should Kenny Daglish leave him out, the ban will ending against Bolton in January. Mr I think that Liverpool need to play Andy Carroll and start to adjust without Suarez.
Most probably Kenny Daglish will deploy 4-4-2 formation and leaves Shelvey in the benches. The 4-2-3-1 formation against Aston Villa where Shelvey plays in advance midfield role looks good but this is the time to play Andy Carroll.
Possible Line Up
Wigan: Ali Al-Habsi, Stam, Alcaraz, Caldwell, Figueroa, Jones, Diame, Gomez, McCarthy, Mosses, Sammon
Liverpool: Reina, Johnson, Skrtel, Agger, Enrique, Downing, Henderson, Adam, Bellamy, Suarez, Carroll
Mr I Prediction
Wigan 0 – 2 Liverpool; Suarez & Bellamy on the score sheet.
