Antoine Sibierski (thigh) is doubtful but Emile Heskey has shaken off a minor knock and Titus Bramble has recovered from a virus.

Wigan manager Steve Bruce:
"We have got four out of the next six at home and we have got to come out of the game at Derby on 15 January with 10 or 11 more points.

"If we do that we will have 20 points and then we'll give ourselves a chance of getting out of this situation.

"It is a difficult challenge ahead, we have got to arrest it quickly and get back into that pack"

Blackburn manager Mark Hughes:
"It's up to us to work extremely hard at the weekend to overcome a Wigan side who are obviously having a poor season.

"We've got to go there and perform as we have done in most of the games we've been involved in.

"We've discussed what targets we're after in terms of points over the Christmas and new year period and the players know exactly what I expect."

Steve Bruce sends out a Wigan side for the third time looking for his first victory, and an end to the longest current winless sequence in the Premier League of 13 matches.

Blackburn have won just one of their last six league outings, and lost the most recent home to West Ham. They have not lost back-to-back in 22 Premier League games.

Rovers have won one more match on their league travels than the Latics have managed at home (three to two).

Wigan are vying for a first ever Premier League maximum against Blackburn, who've recorded 0-3 victories in each of their two previous league visits to the JJB.

Loan signing Marcus BENT will be facing one of his nine former clubs (including Charlton, where he is on loan from, and Leicester, where he was on loan). The 29 year old forward made 44 appearances (37 in the league) and scored 11 goals (eight league) in one year for Blackburn from November 2000.

Jason ROBERTS will be facing a former club. The 29 year old Grenada international made 103 appearances (93 in the league) and scored 43 goals (37 league) for Wigan between January 2004 and his move to Ewood Park in July 2006.
