Good evening and welcome to LIVE coverage of tonight’s Europa League Group D match between Zulte Waregem and Wigan from the Han Breydelstadion in Brugges.

Great play from McManaman. The midfielder drops short and darts out to the left but, with no option on, opts to travel with the ball and rides a number of challenges on the wing before being brought down.

It’s been a very impressive start for the visitors. They’re playing with a good tempo and have not allowed Zulte to settle.

POST!! Wigan go close inside the first five minutes. McClean's corner is headed away but only as far as McCarthur on the edge of the penalty area. The midfield man takes one touch before lashing a right-footed effort at goal that beats the keeper and shaves the outside of the post.

Powell overruns the ball and allows Duplus to clear up. The defender nocks the ball back to the goalkeeper but, for some reason, the keeper plays the ball straight out for a goal kick.

Crainey gets in a bit of a mess at full-back and is unable to retain possession, instead punting the ball long to clear the danger.

The visitors look to retain the ball right from the kick off with the Wigan fans in full voice.

The referee blows the whistle to start the match. Wigan kick off.

So, with just five minutes until kick-off, who do you think will win tonight? Will Zulte prove to good for their English opponents or can Wigan continue their fairytale cup success by claiming another scalp - this time in European competition? Let me know on the comments section at the bottom of the page or on Twitter - @JoshuaHayward99

In comparison to the Latics, tonight’s home side have experience playing in Europe and have faced a side from their opponent’s country. Zulte Waregem took on Newcastle United in the 2006/07 UEFA Cup but lost both legs with Obafemi Martins featuring heavily.

"I love good players and Zulte Waregem have a number of them. This is a very attack-minded side. Thorgan Hazard (younger brother of Chelsea’s Eden) is an outstanding young player - whether he has an older brother or not, on his own merits, he is a terrific player and one who will have a fantastic career. He is not alone - the striker Habib Habibou is a handful and the two wingers are also terrific players.”

However, the Scot is fully aware just how tough the task will be tonight. He said: "We are under no illusions about how difficult the game will be, but we are going to look to be as attacking as we possibly can and make a real game of it."

Coyle’s men haven’t had the best of starts to life in the Championship – currently sitting in 15th place with eight points after six games – but the former Bolton manager is hoping that the excitement of playing in the Europa League can spur his players on to a result.

So, as you can see, it’s a new look Wigan side to the one that lifted the FA Cup. Following Wigan’s relegation from the Premier League, manager Roberto Martinez swiftly found the exit door – joining Everton – and so, too, did four of his players. Owen Coyle took over the reins and has subsequently acquired an entire team’s worth of new faces but will hope that his new players can emulate a performance similar to that of the one at Wembley in May.

As expected Chelsea's on-loan midfielder Thorgan Hazard starts for the Belgians with Habib Habibou, who spent six months of last season on loan with Leeds United, starting up front.

Wigan's Shaun Maloney has not traveled to Belgium with Owen Coyle opting to rest the Scotland international. Manchester United's on-loan midfielder Nick Powell starts for the Latics whilst Champions League winner Scott Carson remains in goal. Ben Watson, Wigan's man of the moment back in May, will start this match on the bench.

The teams are in - ZULTE WAREGEM: Bossut, De Fauw, D'Haene, Malanda, Duplus, Skulason, Kums, Conte, Hazard, Naessens, Habibou...Subs: Bruzzese, Verboom, N'Diaye, Tarfi, Sylla, Caceres, Bongonda. /// WIGAN: Carson, Boyce, Shotton, Perch, Crainey, McArthur, McManaman, Gomez, McCann, McClean, Powell… Subs: Nicholls, Garcia, Buxton, Watson, Espinoza, Dicko, Fortune.

Ben Watson famously scored the Latics’s winning goal against much-fancied City back in May and, despite Wigan’s relegation from the Premier League, they’re in the Europa League to mix it with the big boys.

Championship side Wigan will play their first ever fixture in European competition after they qualified by beating Manchester City in last year’s FA Cup. In fact, the Lancarshire club are the only team in this year’s competition not to have played on the European stage.
