Team news ahead of one of only two Premier League fixtures this weekend as Wigan take on West Brom at the DW Stadium. Kick-off is at 3pm and the match is not being screened live anywhere in the UK. Wigan boss Roberto Martinez is sweating on the fitness of striker Hugo Rodallega who picked up a knock to his knee in last week's 1-1 draw against Norwich. He will undergo a late fitness test as will midfielder Albert Crusat who injured his toe in training this week. Goalkeeper Mike Pollitt is still about a fortnight away from being available following shoulder injury. Midfielder David Jones misses out with a knee injury. For West Brom, defender Jonas Olsson is banned having being sent off against Manchester United at Old Trafford last weekend. Gareth McAuley will pair with either Gabriel Tamas or Craig Dawson at centre-back. Right full-back Billy Jones should be available for selection after overcoming his hamstring injury. Forward Peter Odemwingie is not expected to play as he is nursing a calf problem. Shane Long, Simon Cox and Somen Tchoyi are vying to replace him. Keith Andrews (knee) could be fit despite missing some days training this week. Winger Jerome Thomas is expected to play having overcome his hamstring problem.
