Sunderland vs Wigan Athletic

Latics go up to the Stadium of Light to face the mackems and also there former manager Steve Bruce who has apparantly been shopping at harrods while up there [ sic ]

We managed to scrap a 1-0 win against them when they played at the DW stadium early on in the season.
Melchiot is still out and kirkland is out with a collarbone injury still while there has been talks of it being MARTINEZ VS BRUCE etc...Martinez has tried to play it down by stating that its all about the players and points.

HEAD TO HEAD

SUNDERLAND: EPL: 1 DRAWS 1

LATICS: 5

LEAGUE: Sunderland: 3 Draws: 5 LATICS: 5

FA CUP: Sunderland: 0 Draws: 0 Latics: 1


so on that from i should be saying we should be heading towards a comfterble win but with latics and our current form i would say a 3-0 hammering is in store for us.

there is also a memorble incodent where a group of sunderland fans where "mud sliding" down the shevington end back at Springfield park..Will post a video up of when I get home i found it quite funny.
