THE PREDICTION
The dramatic second round penalty shoot-out victory over local rivals Bolton Wanderers means that Wigan Athletic are not only looking good in the league, they have the bragging rights in South Lancashire. They will rotate, as they did in that game, against a Sunderland side that pulled off an upset on the coast against Blackpool with a late Aiden O’Brien. These two went into the previous round of League One fixtures as first and second in the division, so the focus may not be on this match. Under 2.5 goals, given those other distractions, should be a strong bet for this one.
