Wigan fans must have felt cursed when they drew Manchester City in the 5^th round of the FA Cup.

They head into this game following a poor run of form that has seen them lose their position at the top of the league one table following losses to Southend and Blackpool.

They are a point behind Shrewsbury and have a game in hand, but they could be bypassed by Blackburn if they don’t get back to winning ways soon.

They eliminated Bournemouth in the last round however Manchester City are a different class to the Cherries.

Manchester City head into this game with their hope of winning four trophies still intact.

They battered Basel last Wednesday to all but confirm their place in the Champions League quarterfinals.

They beat Burnley and Cardiff City to get to this stage of the competition and they have not been troubled so far in this tournament.

They have netted 9 times in their last two matches and they will be looking to complete the job in this first leg also to avoid a replay at the Etihad.
