Wigan Athletic could be relegated from the Championship on Tuesday night if they fail to win against Stoke City and other results go against them.

Alex Neil’s side suffered a 2-1 home reverse to West Bromwich Albion, with the visitors securing all three points through a second-half double from Jayson Molumby.
Wigan suffered a 1-0 defeat to Blackpool in the battle of the bottom two on Saturday, with an early goal from Jerry Yates proving to be the difference between the two sides.

Wigan have actually been better on their travels this season, picking up 19 points on the road, but they have only won one of their last five matches against Stoke, suffering four defeats in the process.
