Wigan goes into the contest beset by injury problems. Emerson Boyce (hamstring) is still a doubt, while Mike Pollitt (thigh), Antolin Alcaraz (groin), and Ryo Miyaichi (ankle) are all still out.

Ben Watson (broken leg) is still on the sidelines, Ivan Ramis (knee) is out for the rest of the season and Albert Crusat (knee) is also unavailable. Arouna Kone, meanwhile, is still at the Africa Cup of Nations.

Southampton has far less concerns, with only Guly Do Prado and Jose Fonte (both knee) out through injury.

Emmanuel Mayuka will not return in time from the Africa Cup of Nations in time to take part.
