Wigan host Man City in Steve Bruce's first game in charge, and Sven-Goran Eriksson is coming with a mission - another three points on the board. Victory for Manchester City would see them leapfrogging Manchester United into second place.
Team News
Emile Heskey and Antonio Valencia should both return to starting XI after recovering from injuries in what is Steve Bruce's first game in charge.
Elano has joined Darius Vassell, Michael Johnson and Nedum Onuoha on the sidelines for City with Geovanni likely to come in.
Vedran Corluka and Emile Mpenza are fine despite picking up knocks last week.
Squads
Wigan (from): Kirkland, Melchiot, Granqvist, Bramble, Kilbane, Cotterill, Sibierski, Landzaat, Scharner, Skoko, Brown, Taylor, Bent, Heskey, Valencia, Aghahowa, Pollitt, Hall, Olembe.

Sven: Heskey's good
Heskey's a very good football player, very strong and important for them up front. Before he got injured he was having a very good season and played very well for England as well.
"It's the worst moment to meet them, it's a new manager, we don't really know how they are going to play.
"And of course it's the first home game for the new manager and all the support they will have from the fans there."
Eyefootball Premiership Predictor
Wigan 1-1 Man City
This one could be another draw - there is nobody sticking out for a win here. However Heskey playing will help Wigan get the point and he is the real danger man to be watched by Man City.
Goalscorer: Emile Heskey
