History of the Aston Villa v Wigan Athletic fixture

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 4 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 May 2008, as the visitors ran out cosy 0-2 winners in a Premier League match.
