Premier League Preview: Fulham - Wigan
After impressive wins against both Manchester United and Arsenal, Roberto Martinez's men will be hoping to continue their form in order to move further from the drop zone.

| PROBABLE LINEUPS |
|
Fulham
 Schwarzer Kelly, Hangeland, Hughes, Risse Dembele, Diarra, Murphey, Duff Sa, Dempsey |
Wigan Athletic
 Al Habsi Caldwell, Alcaraz, Figueroa Boyce, McArthur, McCarthy, Beausejour Moses, Di Santo, Gomez |
Martin Jol has had his strike force cut down to the bare bones with Bryan Ruiz (metatarsal), Pavel Pogrebnyak (ankle) and Andy Johnson (knee) all out of the running for this game, but it is likely that Orlando Sa will come in to support free-scoring Clint Dempsey.
Fulham is also without the services of Steve Sidwell (hernia) and Zdenek Grygera (knee).
The visitor is not too restricted by injuries with Hugo Rodallega and Shaun Maloney (both knee) missing, but it will not affect Martinez who is likely to field the same side which defeated Arsenal on Monday.
