Wigan vs Stoke live stream, iFollow, Tuesday June 30, 7.45pm BST

Unbeaten since mid-February, Wigan Athletic will be hoping that they can take some scalps in some of the remaining fixtures of this unusual season, after another stressful term battling the odds of the drop.

Goals have been something of a difficulty for the Latics again, but unexpected wins away from home over the top two, Leeds United and West Bromwich Albion, have given fans belief - even if that Leeds result was a statistical anomaly in which the home side battered poor Wigan with three-quarters of the possession, only to come out 1-0 losers. 

The plucky North Westerners don’t care though - they’lll be hoping for some more of the same in the remaining fixtures - though they’d rather have secured their fate before facing a promotion-chasing Fulham in the final game of the campaign. Two wins since the restart have certainly helped towards that end.

After a thumping 5-1 demolition of Hull City in the last match before lockdown, Stoke City wouldn’t have wanted the enforced break. But a 1-1 draw with a superior Reading side in their first game back was a solid result. 

Michael O’Neill hasn’t had it all his own way since taking to the hot seat in November but with seven wins in 2020 - including an astounding 1-0 away win at West Brom, capped by a great defensive display - the former Northern Ireland boss has more than proved his worth in the club game so far.

Form has been promising, but Stoke aren’t out of the woods yet – as a 2-0 defeat to Middlesbrough proved. Goals haven’t exactly come in droves for the Potters but with a few more results in the next few weeks, they should secure another season in the Championship.

Kick-off is at 7.45pm BST and the game is being shown on iFollow in the UK - the cost for UK residents is £10 per game, but just £6 for overseas viewers, so if you use a VPN you can get it cheaper. See below for watching details where you are.

It costs a tenner to see your team, but it only costs £6 if you are watching from overseas. So a smart tip is to get yourself a handy VPN, and set your location to overseas and pay less. We recommend ExpressVPN (more on which below). 

All you need to do is get a Virtual Private Network (VPN) to get beyond such aggravations (assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs). A VPN creates a private connection between your device and the internet, meaning suppliers can’t work out where you are and what you’re doing. The info going to and from is entirely encrypted.

There are plenty of options out there, including:
