Recent respective form guides

Wigan Athletic need to improve on their recent home record of just 3 draws from the previous six. While Latics have scored 5, a worringly large 13 have been leaked at the other end.

Everton's away form is none too clever either, with two wins, two draws, and two defeats. These low-scoring games have seen just 5 goals scored and conceded.

Wigan Athletic find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 23 games have yielded only 15 points.

Everton's 29 points from 23 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 10th position.
