Wigan Athletic will welcome Huddersfield Town to the DW Stadium in a relegation six-pointer in the EFL Championship on Saturday (February 11).
The hosts are coming off a goalless draw at Blackburn Rovers on Monday. Huddersfield, meanwhile, also shared the spoils against Blackpool, albeit in a more exciting four-goal thriller.
Matthew Pearson gave the visitors the lead in the 36th-minute before Blackpool were reduced to ten men on the stroke of half-time. Despite their numerical deficit, Blackpool scored twice in the final 15 minutes to snatch a point.
The draw left the West Yorkshire outfit in 22nd spot, having garnered 28 points from 29 games. Wigan are languishing at the foot of the standings with 26 points to show for their efforts after 29 games and are three points away from safety.
