Matchday live - Burton Albion v Wigan Athletic

THIS is it - the big game has arrived. With a full card of League One fixtures this evening, most eyes will be glued to the Pirelli Stadium where Wigan Athletic are hosting Burton Albion. For the Brewers, they will be looking to pick up their first win in six games while Wigan will want to put the memory of their 3-1 defeat to Doncaster Rovers on Saturday - their first in 21 games - firmly behind them. Adding to the intrigue is the clash being a "first versus second" encounter, with Nigel Clough's Brewers sitting three points behind Gary Caldwell's league leaders. It promises to be a fascinating game - one which both sides need to win for different reasons, not least with Walsall just three points off the automatics and breathing down Albion's necks.
