Wigan Athletic v Blackburn Rovers. DW Stadium, tomorrow 3pm
KEY BATTLE
WHILE Rovers may have issues at left back, Wigan have welcomed back Antonee Robinson from injury. Whoever Rovers start with out wide will have a tough test to get past the American who impressed at Ewood. However, a return to fitness for Ryan Nyambe down that side will come as a big boost for Tony Mowbray.
LAST TIME OUT
BRADLEY Dack suffered a season-ending injury as Rovers were held to a goalless draw in front of the Sky Sports cameras. Dack’s injury over-shadowed a game which had few chances, but did see Rovers extend their unbeaten run to seven games.
MAN IN THE MIDDLE
Darren England – The official has handed out 76 yellow cards and one red in his 28 matches this season. His last Rovers match was the 1-0 defeat at Birmingham City in October.
PREDICTED TEAMS
Wigan: David Marshall, Nathan Byrne, Cedric Kipre, Leon Balogun, Antonee Robinson, Joe Williams, Sam Morsy, Kieran Dowell, Anthony Pilkington, Jamal Lowe, Kieffer Moore
Rovers: Christian Walton, Ryan Nyambe, Darragh Lenihan, Tosin Adarabioyo, Elliott Bennett, Lewis Travis, Corry Evans, Stewart Downing, Ben Brereton, Danny Graham, Adam Armstrong
WHAT’S THE ODDS?
ROVERS haven’t won on their last 10 visits to Wigan and are 9/5 to end that sequence tomorrow. Wigan are 8/5 to extend their excellent run with three points, while the draw is 21/10. Rovers are 13/2 to win 1-0, the same odds as Ben Brereton is to score first.
