    Wigan 0-0 Leyton Orient

    Wigan are all over their visitors so far.

    They've had 81.7% of the possession and four shots.

    Leyton Orient, meanwhile, can barely get a look in.

    Good pressure from Wigan, demanding Leyton Orient to do everything and stop shots and crosses.

    Now it's about getting a blue shirt on the end of one of those crosses to send it goal-bound.

    MASSIVE chance for Wigan!

    They've had the better of this early period and they almost make it count as a lively Dara Costelloe's cross in front of goal is cut out but only as far as Jensen Weir, who fires but sees his strike out of a corner.

    Weir isn't done yet though. He gets a nod on the corner delivery but can only guide it well high of the net.

    A lot of people make mistakes at this level and when it's at the back, it leads to chances.

    Wigan need to put them under pressure and force mistakes because the team that makes the least mistakes ends up winning the game.

    They're hoping to start their game in the Orient half and not cause any problems for Sam Tickle.

    Just waiting for the ball to settle down in these early stages and see which team will start playing some football.

    You just hope it doesn't become one of those games where no football is played when both teams are capable of playing good football.

    Five minutes gone at the Brick Community Stadium, not a huge amount to report.

    Things over in Cambridgeshire to follow shortly.

  8. Cambridge unchanged; three changes for Swindonpublished at 19:50 BST 2 April

    Cambridge boss Neil Harris has given the same side which lost 1-0 at Barnet a chance to turn things around.

    They're unchanged.

    While Cambridge have struggled to find the back of the net over the past couple of weeks, there have been no such issues for fifth-placed Swindon.

    The last time they failed to score was 26 December... keeping them out has been the problem.

    A third straight away win would take Swindon above Cambridge into fourth and level on points with third-placed Notts County.

    To say it's a big game at The Abbey Stadium is something of an understatement!

    Since thumping Gillingham 5-0 in mid-March, Cambridge have found goals hard to come by.

    They've scored just once in the three games that have followed, and were edged out by play-off hopefuls Barnet last time out.

    A point for Neil Harris' men will take them back into the automatic promotion places, but they face a Swindon side who have won their past two away matches.

    The reverse fixture in August saw Swindon run out 3-2 victors... more of the same tonight please!

    Cambridge could sail back into the automatic promotion spots with as little as a draw this evening thanks to their superior goal difference but they will be aiming for all three points to increase the pressure on MK Dons and Notts County.

    Meanwhile Swindon are safe in the play-off positions no matter the result but may feel a win is necessary to keep in touch with the top three.

    Wigan Athletic welcome back James Carragher to the starting XI as part of their three changes.

    He's joined by Matt Smith and Dara Costelloe, while Llyton Chapman, and Owen Moxon rotate to the bench.

    Missing from tonight's squad is Harrison Bettoni.

    Leyton Orient make one forced change as Sean Clare is ruled out after coming off the pitch in the 18th minute at Exeter.

    On comes Daniel Happe to replace him as on-loan teenager Ajay Matthews returns to the bench following a nine game absence with injury.

    Leyton Orient's position on the table probably doesn't reflect the advantage they will feel they have going into the Brick Community Stadium.

    Undefeated across five straight league games, the first four of which were wins, and against a side in 19th place who haven't scored against the visitors in their past three attempts.

    The O's may not have lived up to the highs of last season's play-off run but they are determined to see out the season with a strong finish.

    That said, they could only muster a goalless draw against another survival hopeful in Exeter City and hosts Wigan have proven tricky on their own soil as of late, winning four of their past five home league games.

    Can Orient keep the good times going to make sure they don't get dragged into a dog fight come the end of the season?

    Gary Caldwell chats belief, responding to adversity and Leyton Orient.

    Wigan Athletic's form has started to improve, finding two wins across the past four league games.

    But is it enough to keep them in the third tier?

    The Latics are coming back off a loss to play-off chasing Reading to leave them only two points clear of the relegation zone.

    Though they did win lowly Exeter City in the previous match and now face a team only two places above them on the table in Leyton Orient, however Latics boss doesn't place too much emphasis on the quality of his opponent's season.

    "If you look at the position of the team around you and place extra importance on that game, I think it only creates anxiety and reduces the potential," Caldwell told BBC Radio Manchester.

    "It doesn't matter where the team is playing against us, we see it as an opportunity to win three points."

    Wigan don't have too much to worry about in terms of dropping into the relegation zone just yet as Exeter City get ready to face Blackpool for some Good Friday action.

    Unless Leyton Orient give them a mighty hammering tonight and Exeter prevail by a tiny margin tomorrow, the Latics' superior goal difference means they are safe for another day.

    But should they keep too close to that line, it could be a difficult conclusion to the Easter weekend on Monday...

    It's not quite Easter yet but we have a sweet treat for you over the next couple of hours...

    As an appetiser, Wigan Athletic are trying to put some distance between themselves and the League One drop zone as they host in-form Leyton Orient.

    Then before we can even get into the meat of it at the Brick Community Stadium, we are diving straight to dessert as Cambridge United look to regain composure in a League Two promotion blockbuster with Swindon Town.

    Mouthwatering, ey? Build-up coming your way.
