Wigan Athletic get ready to host Burnley for another entertaining Championship match here at The DW Stadium.
There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Carabao Cup game only four days ago. That game was also an away game, at Shrewsbury Town. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.

A strong away win for Wigan against Birmingham City the last match, as Broadhead were on target. At last, a league win after three matches without. Bennett was on the receiving end of a red card in the Wigan Athletic-Birmingham City match, being sent off in the 10th minute. The game was drawn at that point, but the home side still managed to pull off a 1-0 victory. Goalkeeper Jones got the top rating on the team in that game; 7.6 out of ten. Jones topped it up with a clean sheet.
The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 1-1 versus Bristol City.Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as West Bromwich Albion are coming to town in three days.
