A much changed Wigan Athletic side fell at the first hurdle last night as Manchester City gained some revenge for the shock of being beaten in the F.A.Cup final last May. Wigan manager Owen Coyle opted to rest players following Sunday’s league game with Ipswich by making nine changes and handing a first season start […]
What is the point of tonight’s match at the Etihad Stadium? Is there anything Wigan Athletic can gain from it, other than a share of gate revenue? The League Cup meeting between Wigan Athletic and Manchester City was being built up as a repeat of the FA Cup final. Could David once again kill Goliath?

A woeful performance from shapeless Wigan. They handed Leicester a gift after 15 minutes when big central defender Liam Moore headed in a corner with ease, nobody having marked him.
