Wigan are likely to name an unchanged squad against a Birmingham City side who may also remain unchanged.
Latics manager Roberto Martinez is set to stay with the same starting eleven that beat Sunderland 1-0 last time out.
This means the in-form Hugo Rodallega will again be partnered in attack by Jason Scotland, with both Emmerson Boyce and Titus Bramble retaining their places in the centre of defence.
Birmingham City boss Alex McLeish will be without veteran striker Kevin Phillips who has a foot injury and fellow forward Garry O'Connor who is out long term with a hip injury.
This leaves McLeish with just two fit strikers - Cameron Jerome and Christian Benitez, who will both start for City.
McLeish is set to keep faith with the same starting eleven that beat Wolves 1-0 last time out, with Lee Bowyer once again pulling the strings in midfield.
