Squad sheets: Wigan Athletic v West Bromwich Albion

A look at the bottom of the Premier League table cannot help but provoke a closer inspection, because for all the doom that has attached itself to Wigan in recent weeks the club's hopes of avoiding relegation remain very much alive. Indeed, a victory in this match would see Roberto Martínez's side climb out of the bottom three for 24 hours at least. That will easier said than done, however, given the hosts have won only one of their last 13 games and face a West Bromwich Albion side that continues to impress this season.
