Wigan Athletic boss Paul Cook has admitted that he expects Leeds United to be fired up for revenge following last season's Good Friday upset at Elland Road.
The Whites were stunned by the 10-men Latics after Gavin Massey nabbed a brace to dent the former's promotion hopes and boost the latter's chances of eventual relegation survival.
The result played arguably a key part in cracking United's composure during the final month of the regular Championship season, forcing them into an ultimately fruitless play-off campaign.
Speaking ahead of the pair's rematch, Cook acknowledged that his side's win over Marcelo Bielsa boosted their own psyche at the time - but that he believes Leeds will have not forgotten that particular ignamony.
"That was probably the day when we genuinely believed we could stay up, from that point," he recalled. "When you look back, everything in that game went our way.
"Leeds dominated all of the stats - possession, shots, attempts on goal, penalty box entries - we had no right to win the game.
"The disappointing thing for us, if truth be told, is last year could well count against us this time.
"Leeds might look at us as the team that stopped them going up last year, and they might inspire them to come together to get one back over Wigan.
"The reality is we're in two totally different fights. I just hope they don't take any of their frustrations from last year out on our team, because we were really desperate for the points as well."
