Preview: Wigan Athletic vs. Huddersfield Town

Wigan vs. Huddersfield

Wigan Athletic will be looking for their first win in four matches on Saturday when they face Huddersfield Town.

Owen Coyle's side have lost one and drawn two of their last three league games, including Wednesday's stalemate against Queens Park Rangers.

Huddersfield picked up their first win in five attempts last time out when they saw off Leeds United thanks to a late goal from Jon Stead.

Coyle could decide to select the same XI that started against QPR, which would see Grant Holt continue in the lone striking role. Callum McManaman, Nick Powell and James McArthur are also in line to start.

Town boss Mark Robins will be without striker James Vaughan as he sits out the second match of his three-game suspension, so Stead is expected to retain his place up front.
