National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Oldham Athletic or Wigan Athletic that keep their silverware dream alive.

There haven't been much to rest for the hosts, as they were involved in a League Two game only three days earlier. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Hartlepool United.
