In our mini-league of 8th-20th the most vital thing for any of the sides in this areas is their home form. In the Premier League, you would take a point on the road every single game without fail. And so far Albion's away form has been decent, picking up 8 points from 7 games with two of those games falling against Arsenal and Chelsea.

At home, things haven't been quite as good. Albion have 7 points from 7 games, and goals have not been at a premium in home games this season. Roy Hodgson will be looking to change this, and the past two home games have given fans many promising signs with a very good, attacking display against Bolton and matching Tottenham for most of the game and quite possibly unfortune with a series of refereeing decisions.

The next game at Wigan presents Albion with a massive opportunity to really get their home-form kick-started. If you asked fans of any team who they would want at home next, it would be Wigan. Now I don't believe that this game is as cast-iron certainty as some fans, bookmakers and pundits are making it out to be. This is shown by last season's result where Wigan nearly emerged with a victory, Albion hauling them back for a 2-2 draw.

Of course, they have lost Charles N'Zogbia and the form of Hugo Rodallega has certainly dipped this season. But in the form of ex-Albion target Victor Moses they have a very potent threat in a similar vein to N'Zogbia, and his pace will certainly be a worry for Albion's two full backs who struggled at QPR last week against the pace of Shaun Wright-Phillips.

But Albion should be looking to attack from the off, with Wigan having a defence reminiscent of one Albion fans are so used to seeing from their side. Should we manage to restrict the Wigan front-line, meaning keep Jerome Thomas away from our own penalty area, we should have the attacking weapons to punish Wigan. Our biggest tool in these games is the pace and movement of our front-line, especially with the form of Shane Long. Roy Hodgson faces a tough choice between Graham Dorrans and Peter Odemwingie to either play in behind or partner Long.

Dorrans did little wrong last week, he did well with ball at feet and was often in the right space, it was merely the final shot, pass or cross that was missing, understandable given the lack of match-time he has had. But the threat of Odemwingie was clear to see when he came on, it was his burst of speed and cross, albeit deflected, that laid the equaliser on a plate for Long. I'd be tempted to stick with Graham Dorrans for this game, knowing that Odemwingie is ready, waiting and eager to prove something to Hodgson and the fans.

That is the only area up for dispute, I believe that despite some iffy form Nicky Shorey will stay in due to the attacking threat he poses as shown in the game with Bolton. And that is what this game is all about, attacking!
