Liverpool to Continue Winning Streak against Wigan?

Anfield Saturday February 12 Liverpool versus Wigan. Kick Off 3pm

The somewhat revitalised Liverpool football team under manager Kenny Dalglish looks this Sunday to continue the club’s fortunes by extending the run of wins in the Premier league.

King Kenny’s tactics despite being 10 years from management have proven to be spot on for a team that under former manager Roy Hodgson were in danger of relegation. It is quite conceivable that European qualification is now a very real possibility instead of the hope of just finishing mid table above their city rivals Everton.

Although the win last Sunday over Chelsea proved that things are on the up for Kenny Dalglish’s side. Wigan will be out to expose any weaknesses in Liverpool left behind by their former managers signings and of course the absence of the deserting striker Fernando Torres.

Raul Meireles is hoping to get on the score sheet yet again as with every game under the new manager, he has proved lethal when in the 25 yard box and scoring in every game – most importantly at Stamford bridge which saw Liverpool defeat Chelsea at their home ground. Luis Suarez may yet find himself on the bench for Sunday’s game as the now galvanised reds look for yet another win.

Meanwhile Wigan visit Anfield in the hope of spoiling the reds’ rise up the table after playing a blinder of a game at Ewood Park against Blackburn which proved to be a heart stopper for Wigan fans. The club finds itself in the bottom three and in desperate needs of points from Anfield to ensure their stay in the top flight for another season.

Stephen Gerard looks likely to sit this tie as he continues his recovery from a groin strain that saw him miss England’s game on Wednesday. Martin Skirtel will undergo a fitness test for Sunday’s game after picking up a similar injury during the tie on Sunday which again saw Liverpool keep a clean sheet for the fourth successive time.
