City aim for the top. Division 2 preview.

Last updated : 28 October 2002 By Michael Morris
Both City and Wigan have 31 points but Wigan have a +3 goal difference advantage over the Bluebirds.

Wigan (1st) have a home tie against Q.P.R. (6th) Rangers will be looking to avenge the home defeat at the hands of Oldham last Saturday. Ideally for City I think a draw would be a good result of course providing if City win.

Bristol City (3rd) are in fine form and they have a home tie against Huddersfield, Bristol have won 6 and lost only one at home this season.

Oldham in 4th are at home to Northampton. Crewe in 5th are at home to Luton and Blackpool in 7th are at home to Stockport.

So 5 of the top 7 are at home. Only City and Q.P.R. are away, the five home teams all won away on Saturday. The pressure is on at the top of the division and City must ensure they come away from struggling Mansfield with 3 points. Those that say it's in the bag, remember Bury last season.

The Division 2 table is tight. 4 points between the top 7 teams.
