Highlights


Goals

Head-to-head

Only one of the 13 Premier League clashes between these sides has ended all-square – a 1-1 draw at Upton Park in August 2007.

Wigan have won the last two league meetings, both on home soil, but West Ham are unbeaten in the last four meetings at Upton Park (W3, D1).

Wigan’s 2-1 win in the corresponding fixture on 27 October was their first home win of the season.

West Ham

Wednesday’s 2-2 draw with Manchester United was West Ham’s third in a row.

The Hammers have lost just one of their last six home clashes (W3, D2, L1).

They have scored 28 of their 38 league goals this season at Upton Park.

Kevin Nolan needs one more goal to total 100 club goals. However, he has only scored once in his last 21 outings.

Andy Carroll has scored four goals in his last six games, including the equaliser in last weekend’s 1-1 draw at Southampton.

Wigan

Wigan’s away record (W4, D3, L9) is the 13th best in the Premier League this year.

Despite their reputation as relegation escapologists, the Latics have only won seven of the 33 Premier League games they have played in April.

Wigan have won all five games in which they have kept a clean sheet. Only Manchester United (12 clean sheets, 12 wins) have a better record.

Their 1-0 defeat at Manchester City in midweek was the first time they had failed to score in their last nine Premier League away games.

The Latics have only won one game this season after conceding the opening goal (D3, L16).
