Wigan Athletic goalkeeper Chris Kirkland insists there won't be any favours for former club West Brom this weekend.

He told the Wigan Evening Post: "I had a spell at Albion a few years ago, played 12 games then got injured which was me finished there. It will be nice to go back there as I still speak to a lot of the players and it will be good to see them all again.

"But the most important thing is to go to The Hawthorns and get something for Wigan.

"Albion try to play the game properly and when they were at our place in November, played us off the park at times.

"It was us who ended up winning though, they didn't take their chances and goalscoring has been a problem for them this season. We're struggling for goals too at the moment - it really isn't easy to score at this level."
