In the aftermath of a 4-1 away mauling at the hands of Middlesbrough, the Wigan Athletic team will need to refocus and rebuild confidence among the team. They achieved 38% possession in that match and had 17 strikes at goal, with 5 hitting the target, up against Middlesbrough's tally of 13 efforts at goal, 7 of which were on target.
Kolo Touré, their chief, will be doing some careful analysis of his defence, who have seen their goal breached 12 times in their last 6 games while somehow managing to pick up some points along the way with 7 goals scored. When it comes to attacking performances, they can consider themselves in a good and consistent form, having chalked up goals in 5 of their last 6 matches. They are struggling defensively and as a result have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 11 games.
They're experiencing a very poor spell of form at DW Stadium, having lost 4 of their last 6 home games. If they want to get anywhere this season, they'll need to do something very quickly to fix their home form, having lost 7 of the first 12 league games at DW Stadium.

Sunderland will certainly have been pleased to secure 3 points from their most recent encounter, which saw them run out 2-1 winners in their home fixture against Blackburn Rovers. They came away from that fixture with a 50% share of the possession and clocked up 11 attempts on goal with 5 on target, in comparison to Blackburn Rovers, who managed 5 attempts on goal, 2 of which were on target.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 9 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 6 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. Away goals have been high on their agenda recently, having scored in 5 of their last 6 away league games. Having failed to record a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 matches, they definitely have some defensive problems to resolve at the moment.
It's been a mixed run of away form for Sunderland recently, with 2 wins and 2 defeats in their last 6 games on the road.
On an individual basis, Ross Stewart will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 5 goals in Sunderland's last 6 league games.
