Chelsea have been struggling to score recently in their outings including in the champions league, and have been managing victories by a one goal margin.

One very positive thing from them is that the defense has been sured in the last few weeks. The arrival of Guus Hiddink has sured up the defences. In the 2 games with him in charge, they have won 2 difficult games by the score of 1-0 and he has started Anelka and Drobga to try and set up them as a lethal attacking pair.

Chelsea defence with Ashley Cole, John Terry and Jose Bosingwa have been surity for the defnce all season. Carvalho is injured again, and should be replaced by Alex who has done an incredible of putting his body on the line to stop any goals from going in.

Wigan is the team that hasn't done any impressive in their recent outings, and is frankly the match up that teams will be looking for to grab a few cheap points against.

In their last 5 games, Wigan have failed to hit the net other than the once against Liverpool, with the 3 stalemate draws in their last 3 games, you can count on Wigan not doing anything to upset the Chelsea defense.
