Celta will provide a tough test for Latics having finished 2nd in La Liga’s Segunda Divison, earning promotion to the top flight meaning that they will be locking horns with the likes of Real Madrid and Barcelona this season.

Latics Team News
The only injury concern for Latics is the back problem for James McArthur, the 24-year-old shook off a knee problem before cruelly picking up a back spasm which has kept him out of any pre-season action thus far.
Hopefully we get through this ok with no Injuries!
