Wigan (H) Build up

[The_weatherman]

We'll do pretty well to take more than 24 points.

I expect about 10-12 points.

Swansea ASpurs A
Southampton H
West Ham A

The games in bold will be very tricky IMO.

Fulham home should not be tricky..ffs

[Mostar]

wigan are good this season though - i think they have been going through a purple patch for a good 6 months now, play good football and they will prefer playing the likes of us, Spurs, Arsenal or Newcastle away rather than someone like Stoke, Everton or West Ham.....

That said, it would be terrible to not get 3 points in this game. Suarez will hopefully get a good few chances here and the fact that they will come at us a bit should mean that we get some space to attack and play our football as well.....

This will not be an easy match.

They can hurt us as their game vs Spurs can show.

Worry about our CB options as Agger (and possibly Skrtel) may not be available and Cone and Di Santo do have some decent pace.

That said, we play at home and we desperately need a win and anything but a win would be terribly disappointing.

We should win everyone of those games bar Spurs

Glad someone got it .

Three points and a clean sheet please, not much to ask.

Would you honestly fancy us against them now, as a banker? I dont. We have no bankers anymore IMO, at the moment at least.

Pepe Reina returns for Liverpool as they host Wigan at Anfield looking to climb the Premier League table.

Liverpool goalkeeper Pepe Reina is set to return for Saturday's visit of Wigan after a five-week injury absence.

The Spain international has recovered from a hamstring injury and is likely to replace Brad Jones, who has deputised in the last four league matches.

Midfielder Jonjo Shelvey is fit after a thigh problem forced him out of the England squad this week while centre-backs Daniel Agger (groin) and Martin Skrtel (illness) are expected to be included.

Wigan have winger Ryo Miyaichi back available for the Anfield encounter.

Miyaichi, on loan from Arsenal, has not been involved in the last five games due to a pubic injury but is now training with the group again.

James McArthur, who has been sidelined recently by a dead leg, is a doubt, while fellow midfielder Albert Crusat (knee) and defender Antolin Alcaraz (groin) are not yet ready to return.

Although I think Jones has done alright deputising for Pepe I am really pleased to see he's going to be returning to the side this weekend.

If we can get a stable back 5 and our DM back into the side I think we'll soon tighten up at the back.

Must have been sore.

Must have been sore.

My son put his pubic bone out a few years ago. It's rare but painfully as I'm told.

Ha ha, really? I thought it was a typo.
