History of the Fulham v Wigan Athletic fixture

Fulham prepare to entertain Wigan Athletic at Craven Cottage on Sunday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Cottagers are clearly on top, having won 9 and lost only 2 of the 16 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Craven Cottage was just last season, in October 2008, with Fulham running out comfortable 2-0 winners in a Premier League match.
