Wigan went into the international break on the back of four successive league defeats, conceding nine goals and scoring just three in the period. However, the two week break seems to have helped Shaun Maloney’s side turn their fortunes, claiming three successive third tier victories via a 2-0 scoreline. In Saturday’s home match against Shrewsbury, the Tics netted two goals without reply thanks to Stephan Humphrys and Callum Lang. It was their seventh league win of the season and the result helped Wigan to move two points clear of the relegation zone. Moreover, the Lactics will be confident about the fact that they have prevailed in their last two encounters against Tuesday’s opponents.
Charlton, meanwhile, recorded a seven game unbeaten run in all competitions across September and October, winning four matches in the process. Addicks returned to action after the international break with a dominant 4-0 league win over Reading on October 21, thanks to one goal each from Chuks Aneke, Tyreece Campbell, Alfie May and Miles Leaburn. However, Michael Appleton’s side then lost back-to-back games against Lincoln City and Bolton . First half efforts from Randell Williams and Dion Charles handed Charlton their sixth League One defeat of the season on Saturday. If they are to start climbing the table, Appleton’s side will need to improve their away form, having failed to win any of their five league matches on the road this season.
Wigan Athletic probable starting lineup: Tickle, Clare, Hughes, Morrison, Sessegnon, Adeeko, Shaw, Jones, Humphrys, Godo, Lang
Charlton Athletic probable starting lineup: Maynard-Brewer; T. Watson, Jones, Hector, Thomas; L. Watson, Dobson; Campbell, May, Blackett-Taylor, Leaburn
