Match preview: Wigan v Liverpool - Premier League

A look ahead to this weekend's Premier League fixture at the DW stadium

Brendan Rogers takes his Liverpool team to Wigan following a 5–0 thrashing of his former side Swansea.

Despite their Europa League exit to Zent St Petersburg, Rogers will have taken plenty of positives going into this clash.

Wigan also come into the game on the back of a win and clean sheet – against fellow strugglers Reading – but hover above the drop zone, with only goal difference keeping them out of the bottom three.
