Preview: Wigan Athletic vs. Brighton & Hove Albion

Wigan Athletic take on Brighton & Hove Albion in the Championship on Saturday.

Two sides hoping to push themselves into playoff contention in the Championship clash at the DW Stadium on Saturday as Wigan Athletic take on Brighton & Hove Albion.

The hosts have won their last two league games and are unbeaten in four, although they did taste defeat to Rubin Kazan prior to victory over Yeovil Town.

After a disappointing start Brighton have lost just once in six, including wins in their last two, in which they have scored six goals.

Brighton will continue to have to make do without Leonardo Ulloa up front, with Ashley Barnes likely to continue.

Owen Coyle could opt for the same lineup that beat Yeovil, particularly in defence where his side looked especially solid.
