Wigan vs. Manchester City – FA Cup: Fighting on all fronts Manchester City now turn to FA Cup and visit Wigan this Monday.
The season of Guardiola’s team is still perfect. In the last week the team massacred the basel and consolidated its way to the quarterfinals of the Champions League.
In the premier league the situation is even more comfortable. The team is leading the competition with 72 points conquered, huge 16 points ahead of the rival city Manchester United.
An advantage that we would not be very likely to overcome. But the first final to be disputed by Guardiola’s team will be the Carabao Cup next weekend against Arsenal.
In this edition of the FA Cup the City already eliminated Burnley and in the last phase Cardiff.

The City’s opponent comes from a few divisions below the Premier League. But he’s had better moments. The team has already been champion of the FA CUP in 2012-2013 winning even Manchester City in the final.
But in the same year the team was demoted from the Premier League. In the last season the team finished demotion of the Championship and today disputes to League One.
This season however the team knocked out some Premier League opponents in the FA Cup like Bournemouth and West Ham.
In League One the team have come from two defeats yet they remain in the fight for access and even for the title with 63 points while the leader Shrewsbury Town has 64.
Wigan vs Manchester City Prognosis:
Wigan’s history and performance in the FA Cup is positive. But this time they will face a different animal.
Manchester City are the best team of the season in European football and have played great football.
I do not think the current Wigan is capable of resisting. The challenge is always to find value in some line.
However, I believe the goals of the City can be a good option as the over 2.5 goals of the team or to score in both times.
