Aston Villa prepare to entertain Wigan Athletic at Villa Park on Saturday afternoon, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 2 of the 5 previous games, with the Villans winning just 1.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Villa Park was less than a year ago, in January 2009, when they played out a goalless draw in a Premier League match.
