Wigan Preview

The Grecians are back on the road on Saturday, heading to the Brick Community Stadium to face Wigan Athletic in a 3pm kick-off in League One.

City are looking to pick up a big three points on the road and return to winning ways for the first time since the 3-1 win on the road over Port Vale back on January 24, as they head to take on a Latics side managed by former Grecian boss Gary Caldwell.

The former Scottish international has had a big impact at the Brick Community Stadium over the last six weeks, with his side picking up 11 points in League One, after a 1-1 draw with Barnsley last time out.

Earlier in the season the sides played out a 1-1 draw as Jayden Wareham's strike earned a point. The last three results between the two sides have been draws.

Safe travels to the Grecians making the long trip, sing loud, sing proud!
