Squad sheets: Southampton v Wigan Athletic

Two clubs who came out of opening weekend meetings having avoided a battering, but not defeat, at the hands of Manchester City and Chelsea will see this game as an opportunity to get their season up and running. The Saints have lost at home only nine times in the past three league seasons – a phenomenal record – and their form at St Mary's will be key on their return to the top flight. Wigan travel to the south coast with their options trimmed, Victor Moses having yesterday finalised his transfer to Stamford Bridge.
