West Brom vs Wigan Athletic team news: Starting lineups confirmed for Championship fixture

West Bromwich Albion and Wigan Athletic have released their starting lineups and substitutes ahead of tonight’s Championship fixture at The Hawthorns.

The hosts will be keen to extend their remarkable home form with yet another win, while also putting right their wrongs from their last outing, a 2-0 loss away at Hull City.

Carlos Corberan’s men dominated possession and had plenty of chances but were not clinical enough as The Tigers had two clear-cut opportunities and scored them both.

Tonight’s opposition are desperate for a strong result as The Latics remain deep in a relegation battle. In 23rd position with six points the gap to safety, every game feels like a cup final.

Shaun Maloney’s side have drawn three and won one in their last five, proving to be a difficult team to beat. Corberan is very aware of this, hence a strong starting XI tonight.
