Wigan Athletic travel to Lincoln City this Saturday as they look to cement their spot at the top of the League One table.
With Rotherham United’s league form dropping off in recent weeks, the Latics have taken the lead in the League One title race as the season comes to a close.
However, it’s certainly not over yet – with an impressive win for Rotherham United at Wembley last weekend, their form could definitely pick up going into the end of the season.
It’s safe to say that this is a must-win game for Wigan Athletic, and with Lincoln City sitting in the bottom half of League One, it’s definitely winnable.

Title chances…
With the end of the season drawing closer, each game for wigan keeps getting bigger.
Wigan Athletic still have one massive game left this season against Plymouth Athletic, but other than that they have some fairly easy games left.
MK Dons currently sit 2nd in League One, but with Rotherham United and the Latics both having two games in hand on them, it may be fair to suggest that it’s unlikely they’ll stay in 2nd place.
It’s going to be a good battle for the title and Wigan Athletic certainly have their foot in front of Rotherham United at the moment.
