England FA Cup | Wigan Athletic VS Manchester United; Tuesday, 09 January at 04:15 GMT +8

Wigan Athletic aim to secure their fourth consecutive home win against Manchester United in the FA Cup third round. Despite being relegated from the second tier last season and struggling in Football League One, the Latics’ recent victory at home will be encouraging, as they have only won one of their last six games.

Manchester United, led by Erik ten Hag, are currently in the bottom six of the English Premier League, with only one win in their last six games. Despite this, they can take comfort in winning 18 of their last 19 meetings.

Wigan Athletic manager Shaun Maloney will miss Jason Kerr due to a cruciate ligament injury, but the team has no issues. Stephen Humphrys and Charlie Wyke are top scorers with seven goals each.

Manchester United has seen Lisandro Martínez and Casemiro return to training after long spells with foot and muscle injuries, while Anthony Martial is doubtful for Monday’s games. Meanwhile, Sofyan Amrabat leaves for the Africa Cup of Nations, and Harry Maguire, Mason Mount, and Tyrell Malacia are in treatment.

Predicted lineups:

Wigan Athletic

Goalkeeper: Sam Lloyd Tickle
Defenders: Steven Sessegnon, Liam Morrison, Charlie Hughes, Sean Clare
