Preview: Norwich City vs. Wigan Athletic

Norwich vs. Wigan

Norwich City have a chance of edging near European qualifying spots in the Premier League if they record a victory over bottom-placed Wigan Athletic.

Paul Lambert is likely to keep the similar side that lost 1-0 to Stoke City at the Britannia Stadium last Saturday.

While the majority of players are likely to retain their places in the starting lineup, 23-year-old midfielder Jonny Howson could enter the fray.

Roberto Martinez will be desperate for three points, which could pull the Latics out of the relegation zone, but the North West side have only won one in their last six games.

Victor Moses is expected to return to the starting XI after he was rested for Wigan's 2-0 defeat to Swansea City last week.

Current form:

Norwich: LWWLLL Wigan: LLDWDL

Possible lineups:

Norwich: Ruddy, R Martin, Ward, Whitbread, Naughton, Pilkington, Howson, B Johnson, Surman, Jackson, Holt

Wigan: Al Habsi, Alcaraz, Caldwell, Boyce, Figueroa, McArthur, McCarthy, Gomez, Beausejour, Moses, Di Santo

Sports Mole says: 1-0
