Arsenal vs Wigan predictions

Arsenal have two fixtures left in the Premier League this season. Both Arsenal and Wigan have plenty to play for as Arsenal are still in the hunt for Champions League football next season and Wigan currently holds the 18th spot in the Premiership table, a spot that means relegation. In my opinion this is therefore more like a cup game rather than a league game.

Arsenal is 10-4-3 in the Premier League since January, and hasn't lost a game in the last eight. They haven't got any new injury worries either. Oliver Giroud is out through suspension. Wenger has plenty of attacking options though, so he has no excuses.

Wigan triumphed in the FA Cup final and will come into this game on a high. They'll need that against a motivated Arsenal side that won't underestimate them. Wigan hasn't reported new injuries, but Beausejour, Figueroa and Stam will still be out.

Arsenal is a through and through quality side in more than decent form. They have players that can cut through most defences. I am pretty sure we will see Arsenal in full flow here trying to attack. This is mainly due to Wigan's poor defensive record in the EPL as of late. Wigan has let in two goals or more in their last four Premiership games.
