Latics bid to do the double against high-flying U s Date published: 12 March 2021
Latics host second-placed Cambridge United tomorrow
After a gritty goalless draw at Port Vale in his opening match in charge in midweek, new Latics boss Keith Curle is looking forward to welcoming high-flying Cambridge United to Boundary Park tomorrow.
The U’s have enjoyed a terrific League Two campaign so far and currently sit in second place in the table, though Latics did win 2-1 in the reverse fixture in early December.
Curle, who replaced the sacked Harry Kewell on Monday with Latics now 16th in the table, is clearly going to be putting his players through their paces.

Kewell yesterday became the ninth coach to bite the dust during the mercurial 40-month tenure of machete-wielding Moroccan owner Abdallah Lemsagam - and the 15th in six turbulent years.
Push The Boundary fans collective - which boasts several thousand members and has the ear of CEO Karl Evans - were, like many of their brethren, hoping that after seven months in charge Kewell would at the very least trigger a contract option for next season.
However, with Oldham drifting in 16th place in League Two - 12 points off the playoffs and coming off just one win in six - Kewell carried the can.
