Wigan Ath. face a trip to Reading at Madejski Stadium on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Latics will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 11 and win only 4 of the 17 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in January 2007, as the Royals edged out their past their rivals by a score of 3 - 2 in a Premiership match.
