Preview: Wigan Athletic vs. Queens Park Rangers

Wigan vs. QPR

Queens Park Rangers travel to the DW Stadium to face Wigan Athletic on Saturday still looking for their first win of the Premier League season.

The Hoops - now under the guidance of Harry Redknapp - sit bottom of the pile with just six points from their opening 15 games.

French midfielder Stephane M'bia should be available, despite being stretchered off with a neck injury in last week's 1-1 draw with Aston Villa.

Robert Green is expected to continue between the sticks as Julio Cesar struggles with a pelvic problem.

Meanwhile, the Latics have lost their last two games to Manchester City and Newcastle United respectively and find themselves 16th in the table.

Roberto Martinez will be without Gary Caldwell and Maynor Figueroa, who are serving suspensions, but should welcome back Shaun Maloney from a groin injury.

Antolin Alcaraz (groin), Albert Crusat (knee) and Ryo Miyaichi (ankle) are also back in contention. However, Ivan Ramis (hamstring) and Ben Watson (broken leg) are still missing.
