Latics fancied to hold Liverpool at bay

Bookmakers make Liverpool long odds-on to maintain their good away form with a victory over Wigan tonight (8pm KO, Live on Sky Sports 1), but the Latics will be no pushover and I think they will be able to grind out a draw at a tasty looking 3/1.

There is no doubt that Liverpool come into this as worthy favourites having won five of their eight Premier League away games this season, however Wigan have really turned things round of late and are currently in tip top shape themselves.

Since an eight-game losing run that left them facing seemingly certain relegation, they have taken eight points from a five-game run that included fixtures against Arsenal and Chelsea.

They were very good value value for their point against the Blues and if performing to the same level are more than capable of notching a point against Kenny Dalglish’s men.
