Wigan boss Roberto Martinez may hand teenage star Victor Moses his first start when Liverpool travel to the DW Stadium on Monday.
Moses is yet to start a match for the Latics since his January move from Crystal Palace but after impressing as a substitute it is thought Martinez will give him his chance against Liverpool.
Midfielder Charles N'Zogbia faces a late fitness test on a knee injury, while defender Paul Scharner is also a doubt with a groin problem although both are expected to be passed.
If Scharner and N'Zogbia both pass their fitness tests Martinez will have a virtually fully-fit squad to chose from, with just Ivorian defender Steve Gohouri ruled out with a back problem.
