BIG-MATCH FACTS
＊ Manchester United will be out to stretch the joint longest current
winning sequence in the Premier League to six matches. All three points
against Wigan will see them leapfrog Arsenal and go top of the table for
the first time since they won their ninth Premier League title in May.
＊ United are defending an unbeaten home league record this season; Wigan
are chasing a first away win of the campaign.
＊ The Red Devils have scored only seven Premier League goals so far; only
rock bottom Derby have a weaker attack (five goals).
＊ Wigan have lost all five meetings with Manchester United in the league
and Carling Cup final with an aggregate of 16-3. The Latics have conceded
more Premier League goals to United than to any other club (12).
