Sports Mole previews the Premier League clash between Manchester United and Wigan Athletic at Old Trafford on Saturday.

Manchester United will be looking for their third win in a row when they take on Wigan Athletic at Old Trafford on Saturday.

Sir Alex Ferguson is likely to rest star players Robin van Persie and Shinji Kagawa due to them picking up injury complaints during the recent international break.

Van Persie notched a hat-trick in the Red Devils' previous fixture, as they battled back from a goal down to beat Southampton 3-2 at St Mary's.

Phil Jones is a long-term absentee and Wayne Rooney is also missing with a thigh injury. Ashley Young could be fit enough for aplace on the bench, as Nani is expected to come in for Kagawa.

Jean Beausejour is the only man missing from Roberto Martinez's squad, who welcome Antolin Alcaraz back from suspension.

Current form:

Man Utd: LWW
Wigan: LWD

Possible lineups:

Man Utd: Lindegaard; Rafael, Evra, Ferdinand, Vidic; Valencia, Carrick, Cleverley, Nani; Welbeck, Hernandez

Wigan: Al Habsi; Boyce, Caldwell, Alcaraz, Figueroa; Maloney, McCarthy, McArthur, Ramis; Kone, Di Santo

Sports Mole says: 3-0
