Wigan pack their bags to visit Burnley at Turf Moor on Saturday evening, having the edge over their hosts in previous meetings. The visitors have won 3 of the 6 previous games, with the hosts winning just 1.
The previous match played between the two at Turf Moor was more than three years back, in February 2000, when they played out a goalless draw in a League Division Two match.
