Wigan vs Arsenal

Wigan have failed to score in four of their seven Premier League games against Arsenal. The Latics have taken just one point from the Gunners in those seven matches but that did come in this fixture last season. On both occasions that Arsenal have defeated Wigan 1-0 in the Premier League the lone goal has been scored by Emmanuel Adebayor.

Arsenal are unbeaten in their last 17 Premier League games, the best current run in the division.

Cesc Fabregas has assisted nine Adebayor goals in the past two seasons, the most productive partnership in the Premier League since August 2007. Just 36 per cent of Wigan's shots have hit the target this season, fewer than any other side.

Arsenal have played 90 through-balls this season, more than any other side.
Only five back-pass free-kicks have been awarded in the Premier League this season. Wigan and Arsenal account for three of them (Wigan 2, Arsenal 1).

Arsenal have mustered 12 goals in their last four league games. The Gunners have conceded three goals from long throws this season, a joint high.

A WIN IN THIS MATCH WILL INCREASE THE CONFIDENCE ON THE TEAM WHICH WILL HELP THEM TO OVERCOME THEIR OPPONENTS, VILLARREAL (champions league 2nd leg,quater final) AND CHELSEA (in FA CUP semi-final).....
