Manchester United midfielder Michael Carrick has urged his teammates not take relegation battlers Wigan lightly, despite their hugely impressive record against them.
The Red Devils have gained some sensational results against Roberto Martinez’s men, with the fixture usually being a mere formality.
United have often struck 5-0 score lines against the Latics, meaning that despite playing at home, Wigan will go in to the game as underdogs, but for them a win will go a long way in securing their Premier League status for another year.
Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Ferguson’s team, on the other hand, are enjoying life at the moment, as they are eight points clear of arch rivals Manchester City at the top of the Premier League table.
City’s latest collapse against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 means that the trophy is more than likely to stay at Old Trafford, that coupled with two more wins means that the Red half of Manchester can start their celebrations.
United’s performances have oozed class over the last few months and they have gone from strength to strength, slowly but surely building a solid foundation from which they title challenge erupted.
Experience has been vital to the side’s dominance and according to veteran midfielder http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Michael-Carrick-c25282, the Reds should be wary of the threat posed by Wigan, although the home team’s form does not favour them.
"It doesn't matter what we have done against them in the past. What's important is what we do on Wednesday. Yes, we have a good record against them but this is a different team and a different season.”
He also added that their opponents have recently shown that they grind out points when it matters and could cause problems if United don’t retain their focus throughout the ninety minutes.
"Wigan have proved recently that they're capable of getting good results and we'll have to be at our best if we're to get what we want. No one here is getting carried away and we won't be complacent,” the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 International was quoted as saying.
The reigning champions travel to the DW Stadium on the 11th of April, while http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roberto-c31294 Mancini's Manchester City face West Brom.
