Preview: Wigan Athletic vs. Nottingham Forest

Wigan vs. Forest

Still-unbeaten Nottingham Forest will want to get back to winning ways when they travel to Wigan Athletic tomorrow night after losing top spot in the Championship over the weekend.

Stuart Pearce's side are still to suffer defeat almost two months into the 2014-15 season, but have now drawn two league games in a row without scoring after being held to another goalless draw by Brighton & Hove Albion on Saturday, a result which saw Norwich City climb above them into first place.

David Vaughan is the only fresh injury concern that Pearce has for the trip to the DW Stadium and he could be replaced in the starting XI by the returning Matty Fryatt, with Henri Lansbury possibly slotting back into central midfield.

Wigan are struggling at the other end of the table and are still winless in September, losing three of their four games and drawing one.

They now sit 18th in the table after Saturday's 2-0 defeat at Bournemouth and Uwe Rosler could make changes to his lineup.

Recent signing Andy Delort was dropped to the bench but he could return along with the likes of Shaun Maloney and William Kvist.

Wigan are unbeaten in their last five games against Forest, scoring 10 goals in three straight recent victories against the East Midlands outfit.
