Prutton's key men
PLAYER TO WATCH: Jussi Jaaskelainen (Wigan)
"As you'd expect from a man in his 40s, he's got plenty of experience. That's hugely important to Wigan, who benefit from his calming influence between the sticks."
PLAYER TO WATCH: Dwight Gayle (Newcastle)
"The Championship's top scorer brings a restless energy to Newcastle's attack. His link-up play is good, he works hard running in behind to keep defenders busy and is being rightly rewarded with the goals he's getting."
Prutton's prediction
Newcastle are flying while things are getting tougher for Wigan, who haven't scored in their last four home league games. That could be five after this one as Newcastle are so solid on the road. They've won 22 points away this season - a joint-high away points haul in the top four divisions with Scunthorpe - and conceded just five goals on the road.
PRUTTON PREDICTS: 0-3 (Sky Bet odds: 12/1)
