Everton has gone on a recent run with three 2-0 victories against Sunderland, Burnley and the great high flying Manchester City. The boost of Landon Donavon, along with the form of the players like Saha, Cahill and Pienaar, has given them great confidence ahead of this game.

They managed to scrape 2 draws away from home against Arsenal and Sunderland, but both were score draws. But now the time has come for them to continue their winning ways, and try to get back into the top half of the table, and an opportunity for David Moyes' to show that he still among the best managers in the league.

Wigan are under great deal of mixed results in recent weeks and this great deal of fluctuations has resulted in them finding themselves in the bottom half of the table.

They could be without the services of their captain Mario Melchiot, who is injured after picking up a knock during the game against Blackburn Rovers. In addition, they have Chris Kirland sitting out and will have to depend on loanee Stojakovic to fill in between the posts.

The main aspect for Everton is that they have kept clean sheets in 3 out of their last 5 games, which is good for them as they have no issues scoring goals, but just keeping it tight.

Everton should look to win this game, but incase of some away blues, we keep it on a asian handicap.
