Bottom side Wigan Athletic host Millwall at the DW Stadium in the EFL Championship on Saturday, looking to keep their slim survival hopes alive.
With only 37 points in the bag from 43 games, the Latics are in 24th position in the league table and clinging on desperately.
They are six points adrift of safety right now with only three games remaining in their campaign, as another setback here could potentially confirm their relegation.
However, Wigan have shown some improvement lately, with two of their nine victories this season coming in their last five games alone - a pair of 1-0 wins over Queens Park Rangers and Stoke City.
Millwall, however, are a different kettle of fish. They are up in fifth position in the league table with 65 points and competing for a place in the promotion playoffs, although their recent form hasn't been inspiring.
The Lions have won just one of their last six games, while losing thrice, allowing West Brom and Blackburn Rovers to close the gap on them to just two points right now. That means another setback here has the potential to throw them out of the top six.
