Playing it safe

On loan from Brighton, England youth international Christian Walton has played an important role in Wigan Athletic's impressive form over the past year - the Latics adapting seamlessly to the Championship after winning League One in style last season. 

The Latics are currently in fifth place in the second tier after a 1-0 win against Bristol City last Friday - Walton's clean sheet meaning he has more league shutouts than any top 4 tier goalkeeper so far in 2018. 

Walton will hope to further bolster his impressive stats this Saturday when the Latics face Norwich City at Carrow Road.
