FA Cup
Football Tips
Wigan vs Manchester United – 8.15pm GMT
Our Picks:
Both teams to score @5/4,
This pick is based on the fact that United will likely rest key players and are not the most consistent team at present.
Man Utd to win and BTTS @21/10,
But United should have enough to win.
League One side Wigan Athletic will look to punch above their weight as they welcome Manchester United to the DW Stadium in an FA Cup third-round contest on Monday.
Wigan Athletic might be in the third tier of English football right now but you don’t have to turn too many pages of the FA Cup’s history book to find their greatest moment in the competition. Wigan beat Manchester City in the 2012-13 FA Cup final to reach the promised land.
The Red Devils were beaten 2-1 by Nottingham Forest at the City Ground in their latest Premier League outing. It was yet another defeat among a tall collection of those that they’ve meekly accepted this term.
United currently sit fourth in the table, nine points off fourth-placed Arsenal and it’s been a nearly soul-crushing first-half of the season for them. But with Sir Jim Ratcliffe arriving as a minority shareholder and taking control of football operations at the club, a sense of optimism has enveloped Old Trafford.
Wigan Athletic predicted starting 11:
Tickle; Clare, Hughes, Morrison, Sessegnon; Shaw, Adeeko; McManaman, Lang, Godo; Magennis
Manchester United predicted starting 11:
Onana; Wan-Bissaka, Varane, Evans, Dalot; McTominay, Mainoo; Garnacho, Fernandes, Rashford; Hojlund
