History of the Fulham v Wigan Athletic fixture

Wigan Ath. face a trip to Fulham at Craven Cottage on Wednesday evening, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Latics will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 8 and win only 2 of the 15 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in December 2007, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1 - 1 final scoreline in a Premier League match.
