Wigan Athletic v Everton tips - Confident Toffees can beat doomed Latics

Everton were the big winners on transfer deadline day and their new signings can help the Toffees to climb the table, starting with a win over Wigan Athletic on Saturday.

It has been a good week to be an Everton fan. The club secured the deadline day captures of Nikica Jelavic and Steven Pienaar, to add to the earlier signings of Darron Gibson and Landon Donovan, meaning that the Toffees attack now looks infinitely stronger than it was a month ago. David Moyes is often lambasted for lack of transfer activity but this window he has surpassed even the supporters' wildest dreams.

That feelgood factor was evident on Tuesday, when Manchester City were beaten 1-0 at Goodison Park, and it now looks as though Everton are ready to start moving back towards the top six, where many feel that they belong.

That rise should be kick started on Saturday with a win over Wigan Athletic in the DW Stadium. The visitors are 6/5 at totesport to beat the Premier League's bottom side and this looks like a perfect match to gain confidence and an opportunity for Jelavic to mark his debut with a goal. The former Rangers striker is 6/1 at Ladbrokes to open the scoring or 39/20 at SportingBet to find the net at any time and he could be a good bet as Wigan's defence is akin to one from the SPL, where Jelavic scored 19 goals in 25 matches this term.

Unlike their opponents, Wigan are in something of a crisis. They managed to hold onto striker Hugo Rodallega in the January transfer window but the Colombian is not going to be the man that will preserve their Premier League status. They have scored the least goals in the Premier League, conceded the most and have taken just three points from their last eight games, losing the last four at an aggregate score of 11-3. They are doomed to the Championship and the smart money will be opposing them every week until the end of the season. It certainly won't be on backing them at 5/2 with Betfred to win on Saturday.

Recommendation

Win Market - Everton (6/5, totesport)
