Wigan Athletic and Manchester United will meet again in the FA Cup 3rd round at the DW Stadium Stadium, Wigan Monday, January 08, 2024. Here’s the preview, h2h stats, predicted line-up, TV channel info, live streaming service providers and how to watch online.
Man United, known as one of the most successful football clubs in England, is going through difficult times. In the last eight matches, they have suffered five defeats, including a shock 1-2 loss to Nottingham. This defeat came right after a dramatic 3-2 win over Aston Villa, which should have been a turning point for the team.
However, failure to maintain positive momentum has seen Man United eliminated from the Champions League and dropped to eighth place in the English Premier League. Coach Erik ten Hag and his team certainly feel the pressure to turn things around.
On the other hand, Wigan, currently 17th in the Championship, are also facing their own challenges. In the last five matches, they only achieved one win and suffered three defeats. However, they have additional motivation to do their best in the match against Man United.
The history of meetings between these two teams is very supportive of Man United. In the last 20 meetings, MUFC, another name for Manchester Utd, has won 19 matches. In fact, in the last five meetings, Wigan not only lost, but were also unable to score a goal.
However, Wigan may see this match as an opportunity to create a surprise. Coach Shaun Maloney has an unlimited choice of players and can devise strategies to surprise Man United.
Meanwhile, Man Utd had to play without several of their key injured players, including Luke Shaw, Tyrell Malacia, Lisandro Martinez, Mason Mount, Victor Lindelof, Harry Maguire and Casemiro. In addition, Sofyan Amrabat has joined the Moroccan national team to participate in the Africa Cup of Nations, while Andre Onana, although he will also participate in the tournament, will still play in this match.
