The Premier League gets up and running again after the international break. We have managed not to pick up any injuries, and I for one am happy Carlton Cole did not start for England in the week.
We travel to Wigan, who will be looking for a return to form following some sound beatings. Martinez will have flagged this game as a good chance to pick up some points. However, Wigan has been a happy hunting ground for us in recent seasons, and Zola will be looking for another away win.
After an excellent performance from the reserves this week a number of players will looking to break into the first eleven. Diamanti, Behrami, and Hines all had a great game, but all three might find themselves on the bench. Diamanti in particular shone (!!) and will surely become a crowd favourite in the near future.
A good chance for us to get an away win, come on you irons!
