WIGAN ATHLETIC
 Al Habsi Caldwell, Ramis, Figueroa Boyce, Watson, McCarthy, Beausejour Gomez, Kone, Maloney |
EVERTON
 Howard Coleman, Jagielka, Heitinga, Baines Mirallas, Osman, Neville, Pienaar Fellaini, Jelavic |
Wigan head into the clash with Everton with a near full-fit squad to choose from, Antonio Alcaraz (groin) is a doubt, but Jordi Gomez is available to play after having the red card he picked up in the defeat at Sunderland rescinded.
Everton boss David Moyes' will have to wait and see whether Tony Hibbert (calf) and Steven Naismith (knock) will recover in time to make the trip to the DW Stadium. One player who will definitely miss out is midfielder Darron Gibson (thigh strain), who is set to be unavailable for the next two weeks.
