Two managers under pressure lock horns in the Premier League this afternoon as Roberto Martinez's Wigan travel to Anfield to take on Kenny Dalglish's Liverpool. The match has a 3pm kick-off time and is not being screened live anywhere in the UK. Liverpool defender Martin Kelly is battling to be fit having being forced off in the club's last two matches. Charlie Adam (knee) also faces a late fitness test on the knee injury he suffered in Wednesday's defeat at Queens Park Rangers. He has been declared doubtful for today's game. Craig Bellamy and Glen Johnson aren't expected to be fit whilst centre-back Daniel Agger (rib) is not fit for selection. For Wigan, striker Hugo Rodallega is an injury doubt having missed last weekend's 1-1 draw with West Brom with a knee problem. In the pre-match build-up manager Roberto Martinez believes the Anfield trip is probably coming too soon for the Columbia international forward. Midfielder David Jones (knee) and goalkeeper Mike Pollit (shoulder) are both still unavailable for the Latics.
