Anfield — Liverpool
Liverpool
Charlie Adam and Martin Kelly were both withdrawn following knocks in
the game against QPR and may not be fit to feature this weekend.
Coates is likely to start after opening the scoring, and his Liverpool
account, from the bench last time out, with Carragher moving to
right-back in the absence of Glen Johnson. Henderson should return to the midfield, though Dalglish could opt for
more options in attack with Carroll available to return to partner
Suarez if needed.
probable lineups : Reina, Enrique, Coates, Skrtel, Carragher, Kuyt, Henderson, Spearing, Downing, Gerrard, Suárez. (4-4-1-1).

Wigan
Roberto Martinez has no fresh injury concerns and could stick with the
same side that really should have beaten West Brom last time out,
attempting 21 shots to the visitors 10. Rodallega and Jones remain doubtful, meaning Di Santo should spearhead the attack. If the Spaniard were to make a change he could bring in Mohamed Diame in
place of Shaun Maloney to add a little more bite in midfield.
probable lineups : Al-Habsi, Boyce, Alcaraz, Caldwell, Figueroa, Moses, McArthur, Diamé, McCarthy, Beausejour, Santo. (4-5-1).

Prediction
Liverpool haven't beaten Wigan in their last 4 attempts and have only
come out on top in one of the last six encounters, with a 2-1 win
representing an out of sorts result in terms of goals in this fixture,
with only 10 netted between the sides in said 6 matches.
Dropping points at home to Wigan would surely see the pressure build on
Kenny Dalglish who, despite guiding Liverpool to Carling Cup success,
has failed to pick up consistent results in the league.
Both teams have struggled for goals this season, so this game should be
no different and could be separated by the odd goal, with the hosts
remaining clear favourites to win.
Liverpool 1 - 0 Wigan
