Preview: Wigan Athletic vs. Derby County

Wigan Athletic host Derby County on Sunday afternoon hoping to return to winning ways after two defeats in a row.

The Latics have competed well against Brighton & Hove Albion and Zulte Waregem respectively, but they have nothing to show for their efforts.

Manager Owen Coyle is likely to make changes to his team after Thursday's defeat in the Europa League.

Derby County boss Steve McClaren could retain the same starting lineup after the Rams recorded a 1-0 triumph over Bournemouth last weekend.

McClaren will also include Michael Keane in his squad after the defender's loan move from Manchester United.
