Bullard has an early crack on goal, but its saved by Almunia, not too tough. Wigan are closing down very quickly and going forward fairly well. Baines has a good chance to put in a cross but its awful. Arsenal counter and Henry wins a corner.

Arsenal waste a free kick after Henchoz had a long talking to after fouling Bergkamp. Arsenal aren't really imposing themselves as much as I'd have thought - Wigan's early pressure and physical play are unsettling them a bit.

Well, apologies to all who take my offer of pbp as some sort of a personal insult. If more people feel that way I can certainly be persuaded to stop.
Wigan waste a FK from a good position as Kavanagh shoots wildly and hears it from the crowd. Hleb gives away possession, then gets it back. Ball is given away by Wigan again and Henry has a shot from a very tight angle but it goes wide. Didn't get good contact.
