Second placed Arsenal will be looking to add another three points to their tally on Wednesday after grabbing a solid 3-1 derby win over Chelsea last night. Wigan also grabbed an important result on Sunday as they beat Wolves 2-1 away from home in a fierce relegation battle.
Wigan managed to move a few places above the relegation zone after beating Wolves away from home and earning a 2-2 home draw against Arsenal but Sunday's game will see them facing 13th placed Newcastle, a team that lost the last two games (3-1 at home with Man City and 2-0 away at Tottenham).
18th placed Wigan will meet 16th placed Aston Villa on Tuesday in a crucial game for both sides. Wigan were brushed aside by Arsenal during the weekend as the Gunners won 3-0 while Aston Villa pulled off an upset against Manchester City thanks to a debut goal from Darren Bent.
Premier League leaders Manchester United will meet Wigan away from home on Saturday and they will be looking for a win to move four points clear of Arsenal at the top of the table. Wigan are in desperate need of points as well since they are down in the relegation zone, one point away from safety.
