Wigan Ath. pack their bags to visit Derby County at Pride Park on Saturday afternoon, looking to break their duck against the hosts. While the majority of previous matches have ended up drawn, a win has yet to be registered by Latics.
The previous match played between the two at Pride Park was within the last three years, in January 2005, the Rams carving out a narrow 2 - 1 victory in a F.A. Cup match.

Recent respective form guides
Derby County's home form is most definitely relegation standard, collecting just 1 solitary point from the last six. While Rams have scored 4, a worringly large 14 have been leaked at the other end.
Wigan Ath.'s away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While the Latics have hit 6 goals, 12 have hit the back of the wrong net.
Derby County find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 21 games have yielded only 7 points. Wigan Ath. are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 17 points from 21 matches.
