Preview: Wigan Athletic vs. Millwall

Wigan vs. Millwall

Millwall can achieve consecutive victories for just the second time this season if they produce another upset on the road at Wigan Athletic.

The Lions ended a five-game winless run at ailing Nottingham Forest on Saturday and now travel to playoff side Wigan.

Ian Holloway might think that he can take advantage of Wigan's next game, an FA Cup semi-final against Arsenal which will surely be on their minds when they face the London club.

Holloway could also be boosted by the return of Jermaine Easter in attack as they look to clamber out of the bottom three.

Saturday's Wembley semi is likely to see Latics boss Uwe Rosler make a number of changes, with Shaun Maloney, James McClean, Rob Kiernan and Ryan Tunnicliffe among those in line for a start. Jean Beausejour returns from suspension as well.

Millwall were victorious in the December reverse.
