Wigan Ath. pack their bags to visit Gillingham at Priestfield Stadium on Tuesday 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 7 and win only 3 of the 13 games.
The previous match played between the two at Priestfield Stadium was more than three years back, in April 2000, the The Gills carving out a narrow 2 - 1 victory in a League Division Two match.
