A Wigan / Blackburn double
Wigan take on Arsenal in their live televised game at the JJB Stadium and although the Gunners' title chances look forlorn, Arsene Wenger's side will be looking to build on their draw with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Sunday.
Paul Jewell's side took a couple of beatings last season against the Londoners although famously got the better of the Gunners in the semi-finals of the Carling Cup, going though on away goals after a 2-1 defeat in North London.
The pinnacle of Wigan's achievements, arguably, was defeat by Man United in the final in Cardiff but once again the unfashionable North West side are fighting their corner in the Premiership.
The biggest factor in this game could be the absence of Thierry Henry through injury and we think the home side can take advantage of that and secure a narrow home win.
Betterbet.com offers 10/3 for the Wigan win which we will take and roll onto Blackburn Rovers to beat Nancy in the UEFA Cup.
Rovers have been schizophrenic this season, losing eight of their 16 matches as they plummeted down to fourth bottom of the league having accumulated just 16 points.
However, in Europe Rovers are unbeaten in five games, winning three and drawing the other two.
With Nancy sitting above Rovers due to goals scored, Blackburn need to win at Ewood to claim first place and a favourable draw in the next stages and we think they will sneak home.
Betterbet.com's 8/11 will provide the other half of a win double.
