This is a game that seems destined for the basement slot on Match of the Day, and with good reason too. Between them, West Bromwich Albion and Wigan have scored just 25 league goals this season – less than half of Manchester City's total – and are the two least potent teams in the division. An overspill of entertainment is unlikely at The Hawthorns, then, although Wigan may take to the contest with some thrust and determination given their next three fixtures are against Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United.
