Wigan Ath. play host to Wolverhampton Wanderers at JJB Stadium on Tuesday evening, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 2 of the 4 previous games, with the Latics winning just 1.
The last time the two teams met at Wigan Ath. was back in December 1999, over five years ago, with Wolves inflicting a narrow 0-1 defeat upon the Latics in a F.A. Cup match.
