Burnley and Wigan Athletic go head-to-head at Turf Moor in round 36 of the EFL Championship on Saturday (March 11).
Vincent Kompany’s men are unbeaten in four games against the Latics and will look to continue in the same vein. Burnley edged closer to winning the Championship with a goalless draw with Blackpool at Bloomfield Road last Saturday (March 4).
Kompany’s side are unbeaten in 16 games, picking up 12 wins and four draws since a 2-0 loss against Manchester United on December 21. With 77 points from 35 games, the Clarets are atop the standings with a healthy ten-point cushion over second-placed Sheffield United.
Wigan, meanwhile, fell to a 1-0 defeat against West Bromwich Albion on Tuesday. The Latics have now failed to taste victory in five games, picking up three draws and losing twice since a 1-0 home win over Huddersfield Town in February.
With 32 points from 35 games, Wigan are rooted to the bottom of the league table, six points away from safety.
