Preview

Jensen Weir netted a brace against newly promoted MK Dons on Wednesday night as Wigan claimed a much-needed three points on home soil. The Latics had lost three straight League One matches to start the campaign before their midweek result.

Stockport County couldn't follow up their 5-1 win against Wycombe with a positive result, losing 2-0 on Wednesday night to a Luton side that shipped five goals against Mansfield in their previous outing. Jim McNulty's men will aim to get back on track at the Brick Community Stadium.
