Preview: Wigan Athletic vs. Middlesbrough

Wigan Athletic will hope to end a run of three matches without a win when they host Middlesbrough at the DW Stadium.

The Latics cruised to an opening-day success at Barnsley, but they have only a draw to show from the past two weeks.

Manager Owen Coyle could hand a start to Jean Beausejour on the left side of midfield, in place of James McClean.

Middlesbrough have improved over the past two matches after beginning the campaign with back-to-back defeats.

Boss Tony Mowbray could retain the same team that drew with Blackpool last weekend.
