Manager Roberto Martinez concern will be new signe from Real Mallorca's Ivan Ramis fitness with hamstring injury. Another injury concern is James McCarthy (back) but striker Victor Moses is in the squad together with Fraser Fyvie, Arouna Kone and Ryo Miyaichi debuts.

Chelsea coach Robert Di Matteo is back but have to deal with post Didier Drogba era which he will definitely missed plus Nicolas Anelka and Romelu Lukaku departure. But few good sign ups like Eden Hazard, Marko Marin and Oscar will hopefully fill in. Of course, Fernando Torres and Daniel Sturridge with Juan Mata will lead the offense. Oscar could be in the lineup at DW Stadium despite having only arrived at his new club on Friday after playing for Brazil. But Marin remains sidelined by a hamstring injury.

Wigan won't be easy as they have lost just one of their last eight Premier League games at the DW Stadium and won the last four in a row. Check this page for Wigan Athletic vs Chelsea live score and highlights.
