Wigan Athletic, Recent FormIt's fair to say Wigan Athletic will have been relatively pleased with a point from their last encounter with Bristol City, a match that ended in a 1-1 draw. They came away from that fixture with 46% of the possession and clocked up 10 attempts on goal with 2 on target. By comparison, Bristol City managed 6 attempts on goal, with 1 on target.
While they have shown an appetite for goals over the last 6 matches, clocking up 4, they have not had it all their own way at the back and have given away 8 goals and some valuable points in the process. 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. With just 1 clean sheet in the last 6 matches at home, Shaun Maloney will be worried about the defensive frailties within his team of late.
They're experiencing a very poor spell of form at DW Stadium, having lost 4 of their last 6 home games. They've shown terrible form at DW Stadium this season, losing 10 of their 16 home league games.
Norwich City, Recent FormHaving taken all 3 points, with a crucial 3-1 home win over Hull City in their last league game, Norwich City will undoubtedly be very satisfied with their work. In that game they had 58% possession and managed 21 attempts on goal, with 6 on target, compared to Hull City who had 3 attempts and 1 on target.
David Wagner will be quite satisfied with his squad's offensive prowess in recent performances. They have managed to notch up 11 goals from their last 6 outings. However, the manager will know they have work to do at the back where they have let in 8 goals and, as a result, lost some important points. Scoring goals away from home is something they have consistently achieved of late, having notched up goals in 5 of their last 6 matches on their travels. They are in some turmoil defensively at the moment and have been unable to record a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.
They have put together an impressive run of away form recently, having clocked up 4 victories from 6 matches on the road.
With 4 goals scored in his last 6 away games for Norwich City, Teemu Pukki will be looking to add more goals against Wigan Athletic in this match.
Despite both teams hitting the net in their previous encounter, the match ended in a 1-1 draw.
The Canaries will feel sure their attacking prowess will yield results in this one, having scored at least 1 goal in the previous 5 encounters with Wigan.
When playing at home in the league, Wigan have failed to win any of their last 3 meetings with Norwich, with the last 2 of those games ending in a draw.
With Jason Kerr (Cruciate ligament) and Omar Rekik (Knock) both unavailable and Martin Kelly (Knee) being out for the rest of the season, Wigan manager Shaun Maloney will be glad to have no other major fitness concerns going into this tie.
David Wagner has a number of injury concerns in his Norwich squad to contend with: Sam Byram (Hamstring), Isaac Hayden (Knee), Marcus Marquinhos (Strain), Przemysław Płacheta (Shin) and Jonathan Rowe (Ankle)
