Last seen over the weekend clinching a 2-1 victory at home against Mansfield, Gary Caldwell’s side will be seeking a repeat performance here. Skyrocketing up the third-tier standings, they now remarkably open Tuesday’s showdown sat within touching distance of breaking into the top-half. Putting in a thumping display earlier in the month as they stormed their way to a 3-1 win away at Northampton, Wigan find the mood in their camp at a season-high. Along with registering consecutive League One victories for the first time this calendar year, Tuesday’s hosts have also registered seven points from their last three outings. Looking to extend on their recent purple patch in midweek, Cladwell’s camp have also lost just one of their last seven appearances.

As for the visitors, while Wigan might have skyrocketed themselves away from a League One relegation scrap, Rotherham’s respective fate could be confirmed on Tuesday night. Enduring what has been a public nightmare this season and rightfully coming under a huge amount of scrutiny, Lee Clark’s side travel to the Brick Community Stadium in midweek sat 13 points adrift of safety. Last seen over the weekend falling to a routine 3-1 defeat at home against Barnsley, the Millers have claimed just a single point from any of their last five League One appearances.
