Stockport County (Away)
- Stockport have won 3 of the last 5 meetings between the sides, with Wigan picking up one victory and 1 game finishing level.
- Stockport have won 3 and lost 2 of their last 5 competitive games and the 5-1 thrashing of Wycombe in their last league outing represented a serious statement of intent from McNulty's side.
-
The Hatters have brought a more structured possession-based game to their League One 2026/2027 campaign this season, but they've also retained the pressing triggers and wing-back overloads that made them a threat on the break last season.
