Wigan – Norwich Preview: Team News, Current Form, and Predicted Lineups
This duel can be very interesting, so let's check the teams out in more detail, including what we expect Wigan vs Norwich lineups to be:
Wigan
With one win, three draws, and two losses in the last six matches in Championship, Wigan has actually done ok lately. However, that still wasn't enough to get them out of the relegation zone. On the positive note, they are in solid form and they are just two points behind Cardiff, the first team out of the relegation zone, so Wigan still has a chance to survive this season.
Meanwhile, Martin Kelly, Jason Kerr, and Omar Rekik are currently out with injuries, so they will miss the next game.
Wigan Predicted Lineup:
Amos – Darikwa, Hughes, Whatmough, Nyambe – Sinani, Power, Tiehi, McClean – Keane, Lang
Norwich
In the last six games in the league, Norwich has three wins and three losses, so they've clearly been inconsistent recently. Overall, Norwich has 45 points from 31 games, which puts them in the top half of the standings right now. In fact, Norwich is just two points behind the first team in the playoff zone, so their fans are certainly hoping for Norwich to reach that stage if possible.
When it comes to team news, Sam Byram, Isaac Hayden, Marquinhos, Jon Rowe, and Przemyslaw Placheta are sidelined with injuries.
Norwich Predicted Lineup:
Gunn – Aarons, Omobamidele, Hanley, Giannoulis – Sara, McLean – Dowell, Sargent, Hernandez – Pukki

Player to Watch: Teemu Pukki
One thing is certain whenever Norwich plays in Championship – Teemu Pukki will have a good season. The experienced striker is once again proving that he is a great player and he is our player to watch in this match with Wigan as well.
After all, Finish forward scored ten goals and added seven assists in 29 appearances in Championship this season. So, Wigan certainly knows how dangerous he is, but will they be able to stop him?
