Team News: Wigan Athletic unchanged for Brighton & Hove Albion

Wigan boss Owen Coyle sticks with the same team which saw off Yeovil Town two weeks ago, while Oscar Garcia also fields the same Brighton team which won last time out.

Wigan Athletic boss Owen Coyle has opted to name an unchanged team for the visit of Brighton & Hove Albion in the Championship today.

Coyle has elected to stick with the winning formula which saw the Latics register a 0-1 victory over Yeovil Town a fortnight ago.

James McClean starts on the bench, as the Republic of Ireland international was reportedly dropped from the squad that beat the Glovers for refusing to wear the poppy on his shirt.

Likewise, Brighton manager Oscar Garcia has refused to deviate from the blueprint which saw the Seasiders record an emphatic 3-0 victory over Blackburn Rovers a fortnight ago.

Wigan Athletic: Nicholls; Shotton, Boyce, Perch, Barnett; McCann, Watson, Powell, McManaman, Albrighton; Fortune

Brighton Hove & Albion: Kuszczak; Saltor, Greer, Upson, Ward; Forster-Caskey, Ince, Crofts, Lopez; Barnes, Conway
