  9. How Wigan's situation could affect Stoke's seasonpublished at 16:38 British Summer Time 1 July 2020

    BBC Sport

    The announcement that Wigan Athletic have gone into administration could have a major impact on Stoke City's season.

    It's expected to result in a 12 point penalty and that would drop Wigan to the bottom of the Championship table and move Stoke one place further away from the relegation zone.

    But that might not be enough, because Stoke still have six games to play and the teams below them have games in hand.

    And there is the possibility that Wigan could be spared the 12-point penalty if they successfully argue coronavirus is an "exceptional circumstance", beyond their control.
