  • 25' Burton Albion FC come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
  • 30' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.

  • 62' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 62 minutes.

  • 82' Wigan Athletic FC is showing some good football. However, Wigan Athletic FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
