FA Cup 26/1/2008 - Wigan vs Chelsea

Now get ready for a Chelsea letdown in this FA Cup live commentary and radio broadcast game between English Premier League sides Wigan and Chelsea. After an impressive and comprehensive win over Everton away in the Carling Cup semi final in midweek, Chelsea are odds on favourites to walk away from this game comfortable winners again, facing a Wigan team that while is a battling side, cannot be said to have enough quality to over a Chelsea that seems to be slowly getting back on form. However, this could be the letdown match of Chelsea's season, as they are playing away at Wigan's stadium the JJB and they could still be celebrating their getting to the Carling Cup final.


Wigan on the other hand has nothing to lose and will surely go all out in this live commentary and TV telecast game against one of the top English Premier League sides. Steve Bruce Wigan manager has said that he will field his best team and it appears that giant striker Emile Heskey might recover from injury in time to do battle against a Chelsea team. They also have their new acquisitions Erik Edman and Maynor Figueroa available for this game but it remains to be seen if Steve Bruce would be willing to throw them into the fray. It is possible since the FA Cup is not a priority for Wigan, and they can afford the two players to get a feel of the English game before truly important games in the English Premier League are up next.


That said, while it is difficult to see anything beyond a Chelsea victory in this live commentary and radio broadcast FA Cup game against Wigan given their recent form, Chelsea are due for a letdown and honestly, it would be better to come in this game instead of against Arsenal or Manchester United. If they lose this game and string together another impressive run after this including wins over Manchester United and Arsenal, they might actually be surprise top contenders for the English Premier League title. The odds for a Wigan draw or win are attractive, and that is the result we expect in this FA Cup live commentary and radio broadcast game between Wigan and Chelsea.
