Wigan
- Andy Wilkinson came through the loss against Manchester City unscathed in the FA Cup at the weekend, after a string of injuries kept him out in recent weeks.
- Geoff Cameron is expected to recover from the hamstring injury that kept him out of the City game. Ryan Shotton will be on standby to come in if he doesn't make it though.
- Glenn Whelan is available after escaping FA punishment for his rash challenge on Javi Garcia at the weekend.
- After resting the vast majority of their first team for the narrow win over Macclesfield at the weekend, Wigan should restore their big guns to the starting XI for the trip to Stoke.
- With Piscu back and available, Emmerson Boyce could move into midfield with Ronnie Stam dropping to the bench.
- Otherwise it will be the usual players for Wigan.
