Wigan Athletic, Recent FormA 1-1 draw and a point gained against Cardiff City in their previous meeting will have been considered a fairly decent for Wigan Athletic last time out. They came away from that fixture with 40% of the possession and clocked up 16 attempts on goal with 4 on target. By comparison, Cardiff City managed 11 attempts on goal, with 2 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 16 times in that period. They are struggling defensively and as a result have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 14 games.
A recent poor run of home form for The Latics in the league has seen them lose 3 games in a row at DW Stadium.
On an individual basis, Will Keane will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 3 goals in Wigan Athletic's last 6 league games.
Luton Town, Recent FormThe Luton Town players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their home fixture against West Bromwich Albion recently, that ended in a 3-2 defeat. They achieved 44% possession in that match and had 10 strikes at goal, with 4 hitting the target, up against West Bromwich Albion's tally of 18 efforts at goal, 7 of which were on target.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 11 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 8 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. Scoring goals away from home is something they have consistently achieved of late, having notched up goals in 4 of their last 6 matches on their travels. 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 mixed fortunes for Luton away from home recently, having won 3 and lost 3 of their last 6 games on the road.
Having scored 3 goals in his last 6 league games for Luton Town, Carlton Morris will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
Last time these two teams played each other in the league Wigan Athletic sprung a suprise, upsetting the form book by winning the game 1-2.
Playing away from home, Luton have scored in 2 of their last 3 league games against Wigan.
This fixture has produced a draw on the last 2 occasions that these 2 sides have met at DW Stadium in the league, but Wigan will take some small comfort in being unbeaten in their last 4 meetings there.
With only Jason Kerr (Cruciate ligament) and Tom Pearce (Ankle) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Kolo Touré will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
Rob Edwards has a number of injury concerns in his Luton squad to contend with: Sonny Bradley (Knee), Luke Freeman (Groin), Henri Lansbury (Thigh), Fred Onyedinma (Groin) and James Shea (Knee)
