The League One match between Wigan Athletic and Carlisle United will take place at DW Stadium on Saturday at 12:30 am IST.
Wigan Athletic aims to break a streak of four games without a win as they host Carlisle United at the DW Stadium this Friday in the League One match. Similarly, Carlisle is keen to snap their eight-game winless streak in league fixtures.
After starting December with wins in the FA Cup and EFL Trophy, Wigan’s league performance has dipped. They drew 0-0 against Lincoln on December 9 and suffered consecutive losses to Port Vale and Reading. Returning home for a Boxing Day match against Derby County didn’t bring relief, as they lost 1-0 due to a goal from Curtis Nelson in the first half. With three straight defeats, Shaun Maloney’s team concludes 2023 in 19th position, with only four points keeping them clear of the League One relegation area.
Wigan, facing an eight-point deduction, aim to end 2023 positively against Carlisle United in their first home clash since December 1997. While Wigan teeters above relegation, Carlisle sits at the League One bottom with 17 points from 23 games. Carlisle’s last league victory was against Burton Albion on October 24. In their recent match versus Fleetwood Town, Owen Moxon’s goal was countered by Jayden Stockley, resulting in a 1-1 draw. Trailing safety by five points, Carlisle urgently needs wins. Despite scoring only twice in their last five away games, they’ll seek a vital away win at Wigan.
Wigan Athletic probable starting lineup: Tickle, Clare, Morrison, Hughes, Sessegnon, Adeeko, S. Smith, McHugh, Humphrys, Lang, Wyke
Carlisle United probable starting lineup: Breeze, Emmanuel, Lavelle, Mellish, Armer, McGeouch, Moxon, McCalmont, Plange, Garner, Gibson
