Wigan Athletic

Last updated: Thu 12 December 2019 07:20
In Brief

Wigan fall to another disappointing defeat. Chey Dunkley suspended. David Marshall and Charlie Mulgrew doubtful.

Looking Back

Wigan appear to fast be running out of ideas now. They are in the relegation zone with no wins in eight and only one point in five games.

They somehow lost at Luton on Saturday despite being 1-0 up thanks to Kieffer Moore's first goal in open play for the club. They conceded two late goals.

Looking Ahead

Chey Dunkley will be suspended after his sending off on Saturday. Cedric Kipre likely to come in.

Tom Pearce and Danny Fox remain out while Joe Williams is doubtful.

Paul Cook's selection uncertain for this one as he is trying everything at the moment to turn things around. He has been hit by further problems regarding keeper David Marshall and defender Charlie Mulgrew who are both doubtful. There could be problems defensively.

Points of Interest

Have four wins, one draw and four losses at home this season.

West Bromwich Albion

Last updated: Thu 12 December 2019 07:20
In Brief

West Brom in another superb win. Kieran Gibbs injured. Kyle Bartley should be fit.

Looking Back

In outstanding form as they made it six straight wins with a heavy 5-1 win over Swansea on Sunday.

Goals are being shared out but it is Matheus Pereira who is impressing at the moment. He scored one and made three against the Swans.

Have now scored 41 goals in the league this term, more than any other side.

Looking Ahead

Have played the same side for a few games but will be forced into a change with Kieran Gibbs injured on Sunday. Conor Townsend or Darnell Furlong likely to come in.

Kyle Bartley also went off with a facial injury but he could play with a mask in this one.

Points of Interest

Excellent away record with seven wins, two draws and just one defeat. Won home games against Wigan in league and FA Cup last season but lost the away game 1-0.
