The Latics go in search of a first double of the season with a trip to Sixfields on Saturday, we will face Northampton Town hoping to keep our run of good form at the home of Cobblers bobbing along, the referee scheduled for this game is Cumbria official, Anthony Backhouse.

The 30 year old has been a National List referee since the 2017/18 season, he was promoted to the Select Group 2 last summer and of his 13 games so far this campaign 6 have been in the Championship.
Previous Games
Backhouse has refereed the Latics five times previously, four of which came at the DW Stadium, his last Latics game though was an away day at the seaside against Blackpool earlier this season, we lost 2:1.
Anthony Backhouse has previously refereed a Latics v Northampton game, September 2017 at the DW Stadium, Latics winning 1:0 courtesy of a Michael Jacobs goal, Sammy Morsy – unsurprisingly – and Jacobs getting booked, whilst Dean Bowditch picked up a yellow for the Cobblers.
Backhouse’s last Northampton game came last season, their 1:3 away win at Bradford on their way to promotion from League 2.
