Wigan v Luton – Team Sheets Revealed

Tonight, the Hatters are up in the north-west, for a 3rd round FA Cup replay, against Wigan Athletic.

It is the first of two consecutive trips to the DW Stadium, with the clubs also scheduled to play each other in the EFL Championship, this coming Saturday.

For the side that emerges victorious tonight, there is a 4th round tie against the League 2 side, Grimsby Town waiting.

Both sets of supporters would view this as a great opportunity to reach the 5th round and get a financially lucrative tie against Premier League opposition, but I believe it would be dangerous to count our chickens before they have hatched.

During the build up to the replay, discussion relating to who will make the starting XI and whether Rob Edwards will prioritise the Championship match, has ensued.

With the kick-off looming large, we are now able to bring you the confirmed team-sheets.

Starting with our hosts, Wigan Athletic:

As for those chosen to officiate, look no further:

Referee – Matt Donohue
Assistant Referee – Paul Hodskinson

Fourth Official – Ben Toner

This one of those ties that could go either way, but I’m backing the Hatters to emerge victorious and secure that 4th round home tine against Grimsby Town.
