Bolton 0 Wigan 0
Wigan lost playmaker Tom Cleverley to injury in the opening exchanges during a dour goalless opening 45 minutes at neighbours Bolton.
Chances were few and far between and on-loan Manchester United player Cleverley went off with what appeared to be a hamstring injury in the 12th minute.
Owen Coyle’s men were similarly lacking punch up front and rarely troubled Latics goalkeeper Chris Kirkland.
