Wigan vs Sheffield United: Top Two Tips
Wigan will be hoping to move out of the relegation zone on Monday night providing they beat Sheff Utd and results over the weekend go in their favour. However, the visitors are flying high in the Championship and look like they have what it takes to make a return to the Premier League, so the Latics will be in for a tough game.

Sheff Utd to Win
Sheff Utd have won three of their last six meetings with Wigan, including each of the pair's last two encounters in the Championship. Wigan have lost three of their last six league games and currently sit in the relegation zone, while the Blades have won five of their last six fixtures and head into this match in great form.
Under 2.5 Goals
We're not expecting this game to produce a lot of goals as Wigan tend to struggle in the final third and the Blades have a strong defensive record. Sheffield United have only scored more than two goals in one of their last six matches, a 5-2 home win over Burnley, and have scored under 1.5 goals in four of their last five outings.

The Blades backed to cut down the Latics
Wigan
Last time out, Wigan made the trip down to Millwall where a goal from Keane put the visitors in front in the 33rd-minute, after good work from Lang who claimed an assist. However, Wigan's lead didn't last long and the two sides went in at the break level following a Flemming equaliser in the 40th-minute. The second forty-five proved to be tight and tense, failing to produce a single goal, so the match ended in a 1-1 draw. A decent result for struggling Wigan.
Predicted Lineup: Jones (GK), Bennett, Darikwa, Whatmough, Tilt, McClean, Naylor, Power, Keane, Broadhead & Lang
Sheff Utd
The Blades had the home advantage against Huddersfield Town in their last league game. Veteran striker Billy Sharp scored the games only goal in the 15th-minute as Sheff Utd continued their impressive form and put pressure on the league leaders Burnley. Sheffield United will feel confident that they can get a result at the DW Stadium and that could be enough to take them into first position if Burnley lose their game at the weekend.
Predicted Lineup: Foderingham (GK), Stevens, Clark, Baldock, Egan, Ahmedhodžić, Norwood, Osborn, McAtee, Ndiaye & Sharp
