Team News
Steven Fletcher is a doubt for Wolves with a calf injury and despite returning to training last week, reports are he probably won't play. Big loss for the home side. McCarthy's pre-match press conference suggested Kevin Doyle as a lone front man, with the always dangerous Jamie O'Hara supporting. O'Hara had missed training this week with a knee injury but is expected to be back. Stephen Hunt also missed training with a hurt back but could play. For Wigan, captain Gary Caldwell is suspended for one-match after picking up five yellow cards. Midfielder Mohamed Diame could return after an ankle injury proved to be less serious than first thought. Line-ups from;
Wolves (from): Hennessey, De Vries, Stearman, Johnson, Berra, Ward, Hammill, Henry, O'Hara, Jarvis, Hunt, Doyle, Doherty, Elokobi, Craddock, Milijas, Guedioura, Edwards, Ebanks-Blake, Fletcher, Vokes. Wigan (from): Al Habsi, Boyce, Alcaraz, Figueroa, Watson, Diame, Moses, Gomez, McCarthy, Di Santo, Jones, Pollitt, Stam, Van Aanholt, McArthur, Lopez, Thomas, Sammon, Maloney, Crusat, Gohouri, Rodallega, McCarthy. Prediction - 2-1 - Wigan's woeful run of form will sadly continue.
