With Latics just days away from their huge game with Bournemouth in the third round of the FA Cup, a new study has unveiled the Boundary Park outfit as the biggest giant killers in the competition over the last 25 years.
The Giant Killers of the FA Cup, a campaign from BetVictor, has analysed the difference in league positions between clubs in every game from the third round onwards over the last two-and-a-half decades, and has discovered that in total Latics have defeated teams a combined 264 places above them - more than any other club.
Latics' biggest giant kill came against Premier League Fulham two years ago, when they overcame 63 positions to win 2-1 at Craven Cottage, while wins over Liverpool and Manchester City have also been significant giant kills.
A win over Bournemouth would take their total to 323, with 59 places separating the home side and the Championship challengers.
