Wigan – Shrewsbury preview: latest form, news, and potential lineups

Read all of the latest injury updates and team news for this duel, including our predicted Wigan vs Shrewsbury lineups.

Wigan

Wigan remain in the danger zone but the mood of the squad is much better after consecutive 2-0 wins were achieved in the last 2 rounds. On Tuesday Wigan impressed when able to beat high-flying Oxford United at home. It was the solid defending that was the best aspect of the display with Wigan conceding cheap goals until not long ago. 

Midfielders Matthew and Scott Smith remain sidelined, but star striker Wykes is back from a ban and should feature. Tom Pearce is also expected to be involved, even if only off the bench, after overcoming an injury. 

Predicted Lineup: 

Tickle (GK), Clare, Hughes, Watts, McManaman, Adeeko, Jones, Sessegnon, Humphrys, Lang & Wykes

Shrewsbury

Shrewsbury suffered another disappointing defeat on Tuesday. Started slowly on their visit to Barnsley and after conceding 2 early goals never recovered. Eventually lost the game 0-3. 

The Shrews earned some lucky 1-0 wins this season but they continue to have major issues scoring goals. No player has scored more than 2 so far and Shrewsbury have scored only 3 goals in the last 9 rounds. 

Important defenders Nurse and Feeney, as well as, the useful midfielders Shipley, Thorpe and Finnigan remain in rehabilitation. 

Predicted Lineup: 

Marosi (GK), Sraha, Flanagan, Dunkley, Winchester, Perry, Bayliss, Kenneh, Bennett, Udoh & Bowman 

​Starting Lineups

The teams usually announce their starting lineups one hour before the start of the game.

​Player to Watch: Charlie Wyke

Wigan's striker Charlie Wyke is by far the most efficient player in their entire League One right now. In just 8 starts and 1 appearance off the bench, Wyke scored 6 goals and produced 2 assists. 

This means that Wyke makes a major contribution to a game right now. Back from a ban he will be fresh and raring to go this weekend so watch out for him to shine again.
