City game moved to Weds 17th April , in between the semi final and West Ham away , 4 aways on the trot.
Thanks – it’s a good job Wigan play better away from home!
City isn’t too far for a midweek trip. But there are three trips to London. Wembley is a neutral ground really, but it’s certainly a long way from home.
The semifinals are on 13 and 14 April, so the City game comes on the following Wednesday.
With City and Wigan both at Wembley, it may be a benefit to play Millwall on Saturday rather than United/Chelsea on Sunday. Millwall, however, did seem a very physical team in the quarter finals against Blackburn Rovers. There is also a possibility of extra time and penalties.
Perhaps City will have conceded the Championship by then – but still be ahead of Chelsea and Spurs. They might rest some players.
Wigan do have a respectable away record. Of the last 10 away games, they have won 6, drawn 2 and lost 2. Goals scored 20, conceded 10.
It’s a pity that these weren’t all Premier League games, but it does show that Wigan have acquired a real resilience.
But we do need to see that away form on display at home matches, starting on Sunday.
