West Ham v Wigan, August 25, 2007, 3pm
10:10am Friday 24th August 2007
LAST TIME AT UPTON PARK: West Ham 0 Wigan 2 (Prem Lge 06-12-2006)
LAST TIME AT UPTON PARK: West Ham 0 Wigan 2 (Prem Lge 06-12-2006)HEAD-TO-HEAD: West Ham 6, Wigan 3, draws 1.
FORM: Wigan have beaten the Hammers on their last three visits to Upton Park. They have six points from three games and are on a high after their comprehensive 3-0 victory over Sunderland at the weekend.
DANGER MAN: Midfielder Antoine Sibierski is on fire after scoring in each of the Latics first three games this season.
The Frenchman hit the back of the net just four times in League action for Newcastle last season, but seems to have emphatically found his feet following a free transfer to Wigan in the summer.
FUN FACT: Bizarrely Mikhail Gorbachev is alleged to be a Latics fan. The former president of the USSR was team secretary for Metalist Kharkov, who Wigan played in a friendly in the 1970s. He has reportedly followed the Lancastrians' fortunes ever since.
PREDICTION: West Ham 1 Wigan 0
