England Premier League: 02 February

• Wigan Athletic - West Ham .. X2 (1.46 at bet-at-home) Lost
  

Wigan are on three defeats run in Premiership. They have a lot of new faces to accommodate, and maybe it won't provide immediate dividends. West ham have made another league success last weekend against Liverpool (1:0). They've won 50% of the last 10 played, lost only 3 in the last 15 (Arsenal, Chelsea and Everton) and when having faced teams in the bottom 10 they've lost just once.

Erik Edman is the only guaranteed absentee for Steve Bruce. Alan Curbishley will give late fitness tests to Craig Bellamy and Julien Faubert. Bobby Zamora, James Collins, Calum Davenport, Kieron Dyer and Nigel Quashie are set to miss out.

• Manchester City - Arsenal .. 2 (1.80 at bet-at-home) WON
  

City are not playing particularly well at the moment - they are conceding goals, and they are not scoring many. They mustered only five shots on goal in their midweek match against Derby. Arsenal have been brilliant since their shock Carling Cup defeat to local rivals Tottenham. Two consecutive 3-0 drubbings of Newcastle in the past week have got the Gunners back on track. They has lost just one game all season. Striker Adebayor is in hot form with 6 goals in the last 7 league matches.

Eriksson remains without long-term absentees Valeri Bojinov, Nery Castillo and Michael Johnson. Tomas Rosicky, van Persie, Denilson, Djourou, Kolo Toure, Alexandre Song and Emmanuel Eboue are all out for Arsenal.
