Sports Mole looks ahead to Saturday's game between Watford and Wigan Athletic.

After one of the more rocky honeymoon periods in football for Malky Mackay, the pressure has been turned up a notch by Wigan Athletic's poor form at the start of his reign.

Just one point from his three games in charge has left Mackay's side second from bottom, and defeats in each of the last two weekends means that the spotlight remains on the Scot ahead of the trip to face Watford.

It's now six games without a win for the Latics in all competitions as their struggles to adapt to life back in the Championship threatens to pull them further down the English ladder.

As a result, Mackay could be forced to make changes again as he looks to find his best side before the fixtures begin to pile up over Christmas.

Emyr Huws could be welcomed back in midfield, while Andy Delort is pushing for a start in attack.

Watford were back to their best last Friday as Slavisa Jokanovic's side thrashed Fulham 5-0 to bring a run of four successive defeats to an emphatic end.

Despite the troubles before that victory, Watford are now just five points outside of the automatic promotion places in sixth spot.

The pressure has been lifted from Jokanovic's shoulders, and he is likely to name an unchanged side when Wigan arrive at Vicarage Road on Saturday.

Watford:

Recent form: WLLLLW

Possible starting lineup: Gomes, Cathcart, Angella, Bassong, Paredes, Munari, Tozser, Abdi, Anya, Deeney, Vydra

Wigan:

Recent form: Carson, Perch, Barnett, Figueroa, Taylor, McCann, Watson, Huws, McManaman, Maloney, Delort

Possible starting lineup:

Sports Mole says: 3-1
