Wigan Ath. are ready to welcome Walsall to JJB Stadium on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Latics are clearly on top, having won 8 and lost only 3 of the 13 games.
The previous match played between the two at JJB Stadium was more than three years back, in February 2001, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1-1 final scoreline in a League Division Two match.
