Wigan Athletic will host Blackpool in a Johnstone's Paint Trophy Northern Area quarter-final match.

The fixture will be played the week commencing 9th November 2015 at the DW Stadium.

Both sides have won this competition twice before; Wigan were victorious in 1985 and 1999, whereas the Seasiders lifted the trophy in 2002 and 2004.

The game will see the former Latics player and captain Emmerson Boyce return to the club where he spent nine years of his career.
