Fulham manager Scott Parker will hope his side can get back to winning ways after a four-match run that includes one defeat and three draws, results that leave the Cottagers down in 12th spot in the Championship, five points adrift of leaders Leeds United.

Ahead of the match Parker must decide whether to start midfielder Harry Arter who was on the bench last time out, having returned from suspension and who came on in the second half of their 1-1 draw with Sheffield Wednesday.

So should Parker look to recall Arter in place of Bobby Reid in central midfield for the match against Wigan tonight?

We discuss........

Ned Holmes

“Yes, I think so. The team seems to work better with Arter in the side.

“I think Bobby Reid is a really talented footballer but he has not looked at his best this season and Arter will allow them more control over the game.

“Arter has been absent from the starting XI for Fulham’s previous two games and they haven’t won either, I don’t think that is a coincidence.

“They will be expecting to be Wigan but the Latics be high on confidence after last week’s win over Charlton Athletic.”

Chris Thorpe

"I think it would be wise to bring Arter back into the fold yes.

"He provides a lot more control in the centre of the park than Reid provides as they are two different types of players, with Arter being the more natural of the two in that role.

"Reid has started slow so far for Fulham so perhaps Parker will want to keep him in the squad to maintain his confidence.

"However if it was me, I would be throwing Arter straight back in for the visit of Wigan, so that Fulham can dominate possession as they have done so well in most games this season."

Louie Chandler

"This is definitely a bit of a conundrum for Parker.

"However, I think he should reinstate Arter. Bobby Reid certainly has a lot of ability but Arter just adds much more balance to the side.

"With Fulham's back line also yet to massively convince, having that extra defensive nouse sat in front of them could be crucial as well.

"Allow Reid to impact things from the bench but Parker should be sensible here and not underestimate the Latics' attacking options."
