West Ham Utd. prepare to entertain Wigan Athletic at Boleyn Ground at lunchtime on Sunday, aiming to preserve their record of never having lost at home to the visitors. The Hammers have drawn both of the previous games against their opponents, however.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Boleyn Ground was less than a year ago, in November 2003, as they swept to an impressive 4-0 win in a League Division One match.
