Latics go into the game on the back of two league defeats and City are 16 points clear at the top of the Premier League, are in the Carabao Cup Final and have one foot in the last 16 of the Champions League.

So the odds are definitely against Wigan on Monday night at the DW Stadium ... but miracles do happen.

In 2013 'little' Latics shocked everyone by pulling off an historic 1-0 win over City at Wembley to win the FA Cup. Ben Watson etched his name into Wigan folklore with that header from a corner late in the second half.

A year later the Latics did it again at The Etihad, Uwe Rosler's men beating City 2-1 to knock them out of the last 16. Jordi Gomez and James Perch sending Latics fans into meltdown once more.

And they say things happen in threes.

So anything can happen on Monday ... fingers crossed!
