Player to watch: Thelo Aasgaard

With nine goals in the league so far, the 22-year-old attacking midfielder has been Wigan's main offensive weapon in the League One. London-born footballer with Norwegian roots has been in an impressive form, so Aasgaard is our player to watch in this match as well.
