Wigan Ath. prepare to entertain Manchester United at JJB Stadium on Wednesday evening, hoping to break their duck against the visitors. Each previous meeting has resulted in defeat for the Latics.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at JJB Stadium was just last season, in May 2008, as the visitors ran out cosy 0-2 winners in a Premier League match.
