Player to watch – Rodrigo Muniz
Rodrigo Muniz scored a late winning goal off the bench for Fulham in their win over Newcastle last weekend and the Brazilian striker is likely to start for the Cottagers on Saturday following his impact.
Muniz should be a nuisance
Muniz, who also scored in the previous round of the FA Cup, has the skillset to be a real handful against Wigan on Saturday, so don’t be surprised if the 23-year-old finds the net again.
