We have a cracking Lancashire derby in store in League One this weekend as Bolton Wanderers host Wigan Athletic.
Bolton Wanderers currently sit top of League One with a perfect three wins from their opening three games of the season.
The Trotters were tipped by many as the favourites for automatic promotion coming into the season and they've started this season in a fashion that more than justifies their tag having comfortably beaten every opponent put in their wake.
Bolton opened their account with a comfortable 3-0 win over Lincoln City before easily dispatching Cheltenham Town by the same scoreline followed by a 3-1 win over Fleetwood Town in midweek.
The game against Fleetwood was a domineering performance from Bolton as they found themselves 3-0 up after just 37 minutes thanks to a hat-trick from Victor Adeboyejo.
Bolton took their foot off the gas in the second half and were reduced to ten men after Dion Charles was sent off on 68 minutes, but Fleetwood only managed a consolation strike in injury-time in what did not change the competitiveness (or lack of) of the encounter.
Bolton look frankly fearsome at present and are looking like the overwhelming title favourites even if it is still very early days in the campaign.
They're typically extremely strong at home and on the balance of things it's hard to see anything but a home win here.
Wigan Athletic currently sit bottom of the League One table with -1 points after winning two and drawing one of their opening two games.
The Latics entered the season handicapped by an eight-point deduction so, unfortunately for them, their excellent start to the season is not reaping the rewards they like it to.
Wigan started off with a huge three points away at Derby County following a 2-1 win before another 2-1 win over Northampton Town followed by a 1-1 draw against Carlisle United last time out.
The draw in Carlisle was a solid result for The Tics given they were away from home against a solid side so they'll come into this game with their momentum in tact and in good shape.
This rivalry has been outstandingly one-sided in recent times with Wigan unbeaten in their last eight meetings with Bolton, winning five of the last six.
However, this will almost certainly be the toughest of any of their recent encounters with The Trotters with Ian Evatt's side flying high at the top of the table.
For our Bolton vs. Wigan prediction, we're going for a 2-1 win for the home side.
