Two teams that find themselves at the bottom of the form table, meaning this fixture can go either way. The Baggies have recorded impressive victories earlier this season at Arsenal and Everton but have only won once in their last six games, losing the other five. Wigan on the other hand have only a single victory to their name in their last 11 games; this is a game both teams will be looking to start a winning run of form.
Baggies boss, Roberto Di Matteo, could give a debut to new loan signing from Arsenal Carlos Vela, whilst the versatile Steven Reid could make a comeback from injury. A win would be very useful for the Albion as they face other teams around them at the bottom of the Premier League table in their next few games.
As far as Wigan boss Roberto Martinez is concerned, he should be able welcome back his first team regulars who were rested for their FA Cup tie at the weekend. A win would lift Wigan ahead of their hard run of fixtures that remain this season; if they are to try and keep their status in the top division victories are vital.
There has never been a goalless draw in a fixture between both clubs but West Brom have one of the worst defensive records this season, while Wigan have one of the worst records in regards to putting the ball in the back of the net.
Prediction: 3-1
