Wigan goalkeeper Ali Al-Habsi will meet his former club for the first time
Wigan and Bolton are both of uncharacteristically long losing streaks. Here's what Opta make of their attempts to turn things around at the DW Stadium this weekend...
Bolton Wanderers have allowed their opponents more shots on target against them than any other team in the Premier League (49).
78% of the goals Bolton have scored so far have been netted in the second half, the highest proportion in the Premier League.
Bolton are on a run of six straight league defeats, their joint-poorest run ever in the Premier League.
Owen Coyle's men have also lost their last six at home in the league, becoming only the fifth side to do this in the Premier League.
Wigan have lost four Premier League games in a row for the first time since October 2008.
Four of the last five Premier League games between Wigan and Bolton have ended as draws.
There have been just three goals scored in the last four meetings between Wigan and Bolton at the DW Stadium.
Wigan have scored just 10 goals across the 12 Premier League meetings with the Trotters.
Bolton have conceded more goals than any other team in any season after seven games in Premier League history.
Bolton have lost 11 of their last 12 Premier League matches, winning the other.
Newcastle's stingy defence meets Tottenham's prolific attack on Sunday. Here's Opta's take on how that battle will unfold......
The Opta trends indicate that Arsenal will begin climbing the table with three points against Sunderland on Sunday, but don't expect a big scoreline......
The first few minutes could prove decisive in Sunday's grudge match at The Hawthorns, with the Baggies frequently flying out of the blocks of late......
Everton have a fine recent record against Chelsea, who have been uncharacteristically leaky at the back. Could there be a shock at Stamford Bridge?...
