Wigan Athletic

Another season of struggle is on the cards for the Latics despite boasting a talented manager in Roberto Martinez. The loss of Titus Bramble to Sunderland will be a big blow and Martinez will be hoping that new signing Antolin Alcaraz settles quickly at the DW Stadium. Hugo Rodallega was vital to their survival fight last season, perhaps too vital at times, and if opponents can shut him down it may land Wigan in all sorts of trouble.
