Wigan Athletic host Huddersfield at the DW Stadium on Wednesday in League One, looking to bounce back from a loss in their last outing.
The Latics went down 2-1 at Wrexham on Sunday. Ryan Barnett put the hosts in front after 60 minutes, but Joe Hugill restored parity for Wigan 11 minutes from time. A point seemed in the bag when Steven Fletcher's stoppage time winner condemned Shaun Maloney's side to their ninth league defeat of the season.
With 27 points from 22 games, the Greater Manchester outfit are 16th in the points table and plummeting closer to the bottom three with each passing week.
