Wigan Athletic, Recent FormWigan Athletic won't feel too deflated by the 2-1 away defeat to Queens Park Rangers, given that their opponents sit a full 14 places above them in the league table. They came away from that fixture with 53% of the possession and clocked up 11 attempts on goal with 2 on target. By comparison, Queens Park Rangers managed 9 attempts on goal, with 4 on target.
They have bagged 6 goals in their last 6 matches but haven't taken the points they might have hoped for, primarily due to some indecisive defending that has seen their goal breached 13 times in that period. They are showing great consistency at DW Stadium in finding the back of the net, having scored in 5 of their last 6 home games. Leam Richardson will be slightly concerned about his defence, after only managing 1 clean sheet in their last 6 home games.
Recent form is something they will be looking to turn around, having recorded 5 defeats from their last 6 matches. They've struggled to find their feet at home this season, having won just 1 of their 8 league games at DW Stadium.
Watford, Recent FormIn their previous league fixture, Watford managed a remarkable 4-0 home win against Luton Town. In that game they had 59% possession and managed 13 attempts on goal, with 8 on target, compared to Luton Town who had 9 attempts and 3 on target.
While they have been strong in attack with 12 goals scored in their last 6 games, their defence has let them down slightly, by conceeding 9 at the other end which has led to points being dropped. With goals notched up in 5 of their past 6 matches, they are certainly showing some goal-scoring consistency of late.
In terms of results, it's been a bit of a mixed bag for Watford recently, having won 3 and lost 3 of their last 6 games. Their away form in the early part of the season has produced an unusually high number of draws, with 4 draws in 8 away league games.
Goalscorer Ismaïla Sarr will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 3 goals in his last 6 league matches for Watford.
The 0-2 victory which Watford recorded last time these two sides met was no surprise to most.
The Hornets will be confident of finding the net in this one against Wigan, with an impressive scoring record of at least 1 goal in their previous 7 encounters between the two sides.
Watford has won the last 2 games they've played against Wigan in the league.
With only Gwion Edwards (Achilles tendon) and Callum Lang (Ankle) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Leam Richardson will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
Watford manager Slaven Bilić has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Tom Cleverley (Leg), Rey Manaj (Leg) and Jeremy Ngakia (Hamstring) are all currently out of contention for this game.
