Heading into this fixture, Wigan Athletic are without a win away from home in their last 2 matches in the league.

📋 Team News: Wigan

Thanks to a mainly full-strength group, there’s only the lone fitness issue for the Wigan boss Shaun Maloney to be concerned about. Luke Robinson (Knee injury) won’t be playing here.
