Head-to-Head

Before the duo’s meeting in 2016, the last time the two clubs faced off was in 2003 in the old Division 2.

A Wigan side that contained the likes of Lee McCulloch and Nathan Ellington won the game 1-0.

However, Bristol City have won the last two since the turn of the decade, including the 1-0 away win in March 2017 thanks to Aden Flint’s late goal.

Likely XIs

Wigan midfielder Callum McManaman is a doubt after he was a late withdrawal from the squad to face Hull City due to injury.

So The Latics could remain unchanged.

Bristol City could recall winger Niclas Eliasson to the starting eleven after impressing off the bench in the loss to West Brom.

Famara Diedhiou netted a consolation goal in that game and is now pushing for a starting berth.
