Wigan Athletic host Reading on Saturday in the Premier League.

Roberto Martinez's Wigan Athletic host an improving Reading side in an important clash on Saturday between two sides fighting the drop.

Wigan have lost their last two league games and have slipped to 16th in the table, just two points ahead of the visitors.

Brian McDermott's side won their first game of the season last weekend as they defeated Everton 2-1.

Martinez's side did not create enough last time out but the manager might fancy Arouna Kone and Franco Di Santo against the Reading back line.

McDermott will be reluctant to change a winning side and Adam Le Fondre could be regarded as the key man after his two goals against the Toffees.
