Leeds United are hoping to keep their promotion chase on track.
Leeds United’s win over Sheffield Wednesday last week sparked wild celebrations as it lifted them three points clear in the promotion hunt.
It will count for nothing if they lose at home this weekend.
Leeds are heavy favourites as they take on Wigan Athletic.
The Whites beat Wigan 2-1 away in November and the Latics are down in 21st place.
This means they are battling relegation, and Leeds must be wary.
Wigan boss Paul Cook has told Wigan Today he is happy with the team being underdogs.
He said: “It’s probably a game where no one gives us a chance, but that’s football and I’m okay with that.
“It’s one of the fixtures when they come out you look forward to.
“And with the scenarios where Leeds are in the league and with games running out it will be a great one for everyone to see.”
Wigan have reportedly received a double boost for the fixture, with Nick Powell an Josh Windass passed fit after shaking off recent injuries.
Powell is Wigan’s joint top scorer with seven goals level with Joe Garner, with Windass next up with five.
