Fulham host Wigan Athletic at Craven Cottage on Saturday afternoon.

Two sides struggling at the wrong end of the Premier League table Fulham and Wigan Athletic clash at Craven Cottage on Saturday afternoon in what is an important fixture for both teams.

Fulham won only their second league game in 13 attempts on New Year's Day with a good 2-1 win at West Bromwich Albion.

Wigan have lost four in their last five in the league, with their last victory coming at the end of December away to Aston Villa.

Mladen Petric has returned to training for the hosts, but is unlikely to start, whereas Mark Schwarzer could come back into the team, displacing David Stockdale, who has played the last three games.

Roberto Martinez rested a number of players for the draw with Bournemouth but is likely to recall the likes of James McCarthy, James McArthur and Arouna Kone.
