The enigma that is Wigan Athletic have been elevated to the mainstream this week after successive victories over Manchester United and Arsenal lifted them clear of the relegation zone. But this is Wigan, it is always necessary to expect the unexpected. The Latics were beaten 2-0 at home by Fulham earlier this season and Roberto Martínez is acutely aware they are capable of losing again and ending up straight back in trouble, especially as the hosts should have back their forwards Pavel Pogrebnyak and Andrew Johnson.
