ADDICKS boss Johnnie Jackson is expecting a “tough” fixture when his side takes on second-placed Wigan Athletic.
Jackson’s team will be hoping to bounce back after their defeat to Bolton earlier in the week.
Despite Wigan being the favourites to win the match, Jackson is confident that his team can cause an upset as they have with sides such as Portsmouth and Sunderland.

He said: “It will be a tough game, obviously they’re a top side and one of the best in the division.
“I fully expect them to be right in the shake-up for automatic promotion come the end of the season.
“On paper it’s one of the more difficult fixtures you’re going to face but we normally do alright in those ones.
“We went to Sunderland and won, we went to Portsmouth and won.
“We went to the form team in the division on Tuesday and, for me, have only been undone by our own poor defending in those situations.
“We certainly didn’t get opened up really at any stage.
“We’ll go there, prepare right, make ourselves difficult to beat and know that in any game that we’ll always get opportunities because of the quality that we have on the pitch.”
