Wigan return to the DW Stadium after picking up a vital three points at Scunthorpe last week. Latics are currently on a five game winning streak at home, and have done so without conceding a goal.
We welcome Sam Morsy and Michael
Jacobs back into the squad tomorrow, which gives us a very strong looking squad for Paul Cook to pick from.
Southend have struggled so far this season, and currently lie in the relegation zone. It should, I repeat should, be a comfortable home win tomorrow.
On the plus side, we can move top of the league tomorrow.
