Wigan Athletic manager Roberto Martinez faces the difficult task of overcoming in-form Everton when his side host the Toffees at the DW Stadium this weekend.
The Latics, who have lost their last three Premier League matches, will be eager to climb up the table but it won't be easy as they go up against David Moyes's men, who have won four of their last six league clashes.
Martinez could opt for a forward three of Franco Di Santo, Arouna Kone and Shaun Maloney following the dismissal of Jordi Gomez during Wigan's 1-0 defeat to Sunderland last weekend.
Meanwhile, Everton are expected to line up with Nikica Jelavic up top, with Marouane Fellaini pushed up to sit just behind the striker.
Recent form:
Wigan: DWDDW
Everton: DDDDW
Possible lineups:
Wigan: Al Habsi; Ramis, Caldwell, Figueroa; Boyce, McCarthy, McArthur, Beausejour; Kone, Di Santo, Maloney
Everton: Howard; Coleman, Heitinga, Jagielka, Baines; Mirallas, Neville, Osman, Pienaar; Fellaini, Jelavic
Sports Mole says: 1-2
