A lack of consistency is the biggest problem for both sides as they are unable to build any decent momentum. Despite their inability to put on a good run of games, the home side are still close to the playoffs, however, the visitors are in serious trouble. Sitting at the bottom of the 24-team standings, things are starting to look bleak for the visitors.

Placed at the foot of the table, Wigan Athletic are going through a dreaded run of form. Their poor form has already cost the job of their manager. Kolo Toure was let go as their manager after only nine games in charge. He has been replaced by former winger Shaun Maloney. It is going to be an extremely difficult task for Maloney to help them move out of the relegation zone. Nonetheless, he must hope to get some quick results, starting with a difficult trip to a promotion hopeful on Monday night.
