Wigan
Reading
- Ben Watson suffered a broken shin in the game against Liverpool last weekend and will be out until the New Year, while Gary Caldwell picked up a knock in the defeat and is a doubt.
- Roberto Martinez will hope to have James McArthur back available after the Scot missed the game with Liverpool, with Jordi Gomez or David Jones likely to come in if he cannot recover in time.
- Franco Di Santo was ineffective last time out and could be replaced by Miyaichi, with Kone moving into a more central role.
- Jimmy Kebe should be back in contention having missed the game against Everton, though Guthrie and Karacan remain sidelined.
- With no new injury concerns, however, McDermott is likely to field an unchanged side to the one that picked up their first win of the season last time out.
- Hal Robson-Kanu should start on the right with Morrison keeping his place alongside Gorkss at centre-back.
James McArthur, Franco Di Santo, Ryo Miyaichi, Albert Crusat and Antolin Alcaraz are Injured
Will Wigan continue playing their brand of attacking football ? Just wait and see....
