Here we go. Arsenal keep the ball early on.
The players are out on the pitch as we get close to kick-off.
Daniel has a wish and we will make it come true. He writes" Nick - I never see any predictions from Pennsylvania (USA) during the coverage online. It's about time someone becomes awesome (you) and includes one. 4-0 to the Arsenal just like back in December and I am going to go ahead and say the same scorers... Art, TV5, Gervinho, and RvP."
Over to the USA for the views of Jim. "It is supremely sunny in San Diego today, not to rub it in, because we have borrowed enough stormy weather of late. Flip side, without Maloney, Wigan are bankrupt in midfield. Awfully strong Arsenal contingent, minus Djourou. Predicting an easy 3-0 for the Gunners! RVP, Vermaelen & Benayoun on the goals."
Tomas Rosicky is the one change in the Arsenal first XI as he replaces Aaron Ramsey. Kieran Gibbs and Gervinho are back on the bench after injury.
Adam writes "Wigan have pulled of a few shock results lately and I think they will win tonight 2-1." The place to send e-mails is nick.hext@bskyb.com.
Wigan say Shaun Maloney is out of the squad because of a minor knock in training. Not good news for the Latics.
