Coming into this game losing just twice since Boxing Day and winning four of their last five games at Edgeley Park, Stockport are back on track and well in the mix for promotion to the Championship. The Hatters fell to a disappointing midweek defeat at fellow promotion hopefuls Bradford, and with consecutive games against teams in the lower reaches of the table, this is their opportunity to try and solidify their top six spot.
Since tipping Wigan to be relegated, they’ve been beaten 6-1 at Peterborough, conceded a late winner from Reading and been soundly beaten by Arsenal in an energy-sapping FA Cup tie. The Latics have since sacked Ryan Lowe and appointed Gary Caldwell, but occupy a spot in the bottom four an,d having lost four of their last six games on the road, a trip to one of the strongest sides in the division looks a daunting challenge.
