da dobrowin： At Christmas time everyone likes an old story. If it is unashamed football clichés you are looking for, perhaps direct your attention to what promises to be a pivotal battle for both sides and their hopes for retaining top-flight status for next year.
da jogodeouro： Both Mick McCarthy and Roberto Martinez will have earmarked this fixture for weeks now as one where the traditional three point stocking filler from Santa Claus would be most needed.
Neither man would have thought that this season would be free of these sorts of battles, particularly considering the torrid autumn experienced at both the DW and Molineux.
It is hard not to watch Wolves and feel that for all their enterprising football, the ability to grind out wins in games of this fashion is missing from their armoury. Whilst I would expect Wigan to have the Premier League experience necessary to pull out a result here, I believe both sides’ fear of defeat will outweigh their desire to land a decisive blow for Premier League survival.
