We ought to be winning this comfortably but....I just hope we see starts for RHM and Green or at least a good run out.

Wigan looked good in their first game of the season and have the buzz of a newly promoted team so it won't be as easy as some believe.

                      Steer


           Hutton Chester Tuanzebe

Elmo                                          Taylor
             
    Green     McGinn     Hourihane         

                   Grealish
                   
                    Kodjia

Subs:

Nyland
Jedinak
Whelan
RHM
Adomah
Bjarnnason
Doyle- Hayes

Not sure if RDL is still suspended or he would be added for his versatility

Lack of striking options is key for me and needs addressing today

Hopefully it's better than the last league fixture between us, though a similar goal from Grealish would be nice

You realise we've just bought the Scottish Matthäus?  Not even a place on the bench for him?!

We’ve kept Jack so we’ll smash this lot 28-1. The 1 because either Taylor or Elphick will drop a bollock.

Might need Jedinak to play, if fit, so he can mark their giant centre back, Dan Burn at corners.

I honestly believe we are going tear Wigan apart with a breathtaking exhibition of football. 

1-0
