Paul Jewell will be playing the shadow squad again for this Carling Cup Quarter-Final. The only trouble is, there aren’t enough of them.

Vital Quotes:

Wigan Athletic Team News:

With only 16 fit players at his disposal, it’s not difficult to work out the squad for tonight’s match. Apart from the players who played or were subs on Saturday Josip Skoko, Stephane Henchoz and David Connolly are the only other possibles but all are doubtful with minor injuries.

We can be sure that the players who didn’t start Saturday’s match will start tonight, the only exception being in goal where it’s possible that Pollitt will retain his place ahead of Walsh.

Player to watch: Johansson

Has played well in previous cup matches , will this be the one that breaks him into the first team?

Bolton Wanderers Team News:

Bolton are also expected to make many changes from the team that beat Everton 4-0 at the weekend.

Player to watch: Diouf

May be the only Bolton player to be within spitting distance of a goal.
