Burnley, Recent FormBurnley manager Vincent Kompany will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 0-0 draw in his team's last league outing against Blackpool. They achieved 78% possession in that match and had 13 strikes at goal, with 5 hitting the target, up against Blackpool's tally of 6 efforts at goal, 0 of which were on target.
Kompany will be pleased with his team's performances recently, having only conceded 2 in their last 6 games, while still managing to score a respectable 10 goals. Their goal scoring streak at home now stands at 23 games in a row. They are proving tough to beat, keeping 4 clean sheets in their last 6 games.
Their strong run of form at home now gives them an unbeaten streak of 18 games in a row.
On an individual basis, Nathan Tella will be looking to get on the scoresheet again at Turf Moor having scored 5 goals in Burnley's last 6 home games in the league.
Wigan Athletic, Recent FormWigan Athletic will not be too disheartened with their 1-0 away defeat at the hands of West Bromwich Albion who sit so many places above them in the table. In that game they recorded 45 % of the possession, with 11 attempts on goal, 4 on target. Their opponents found the target on 4 of their 17 shots on goal.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 4 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 5 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points. On their travels, they have made a habit of scoring goals, having found the net in 4 of their last 6 outings away from home. They will need to tighten up at the back, having failed to keep a clean sheet in all but 1 of their last 6 away games.
An away win for Wigan Athletic is just a distant memory, having not won on the road in 12 games.
The last time these two teams met Burnley enforced their superiority over Wigan Athletic with a comfortable 1-5 win.
Playing at home, Burnley have scored in 3 of their last 3 league games against Wigan.
In the last 2 league meetings between the teams, Burnley has taken all 3 points and has not lost to Wigan in 3 games.
Burnley manager Vincent Kompany has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Josh Brownhill (Foot), Darko Churlinov (Leg), Taylor Harwood-Bellis (Foot), Ian Maatsen (Shoulder), Benson Manuel (Ankle) and Jay Rodriguez (Knock) are all currently out of contention for this game.
With Martin Kelly (Knee) being out for the rest of the season and Jason Kerr (Cruciate ligament) also unavailable in the shorter term, Wigan manager Shaun Maloney will be pleased to have no other major fitness concerns going into this tie.
