Prediction: 1-1
Wigan
After failing to win the last four league matches, Preston will look to give fans some cheer when they face Wigan Athletic on Saturday. The Lilywhites are stuck in the middle of the table, but a win over Wigan will see them revive their playoffs hopes. Andrew Hughes limped off with injury in a goalless draw with Hull City, with fellow defender Liam Lindsay likely to step up.
The Latics, on the other hand, are undefeated in the previous four league fixtures, and they are desperate to escape the relegation zone. Anyhow, both teams should be happy with one point from this encounter. As for the visiting side, all Jack Whatmough, Martin Kelly, and Jason Kerr are out of contention with injuries. Experienced defender Steven Caulker is widely expected to replace Whatmough in the starting XI. In the first half of the season the two teams played out a goalless draw.
Highlighted Player (Robbie Brady):
Robbie Brady is an Irish footballer who plays for Norwich City as a winger, but he is capable of playing at left back as well. Brady began his youth career at St. Kevin’s Boys, where he was spotted by Manchester United scouts. In 2008 he joined the Old Trafford outfit at age 16.
He played for Manchester United U-18 team, but he did not make his debut for the senior team.

Robbie Brady made his Republic of Ireland debut on 8 September, 2012, in a 4-1 win over Oman and it has to be noted that he scored one goal and provided two assists for his teammates in the victory over the Asian team.

Highlighted Team (Wigan):
Wigan Athletic are one of the winners of the English FA Cup. The Latics won the prestigious trophy in 2013, with the team upsetting Manchester City in the title game. This is considered the club’s biggest success, but it has to be noted that Wigan played in the UEFA Europa League in the 2013/2014 season.
Wigan have been playing their home games at the DW Stadium since 1999 and they had played at Springfield Park in the past. Chorley are considered Wigan’s fierce rivals, but the two teams last met in 1971, when they competed in the Northern Premier League. The likes of Preston North End, Bury, Oldham Athletic, Burnley and Blackburn Rovers are regarded as Wigan Athletic’s rivals as well.
The club was founded in 1932 and they competed in the English Premier League from 2005 to 2013. The colour of Wigan’s home kit is blue and white (stripes).
