Preview: Wigan v Bolton

Preview: Wigan v Bolton March 17 2008

Wigan striker Emile Heskey has been given the all-clear to play in Sunday's Premier League relegation battle with Bolton at the JJB Stadium.

The England international was forced off in last week's goalless draw against Arsenal after suffering a foot injury but scans have confirmed there is no break so Latics boss Steve Bruce could name an unchanged line-up.

On-loan striker Marcus Bent could miss out again through a slight injury problem, while Swedish defender Andreas Granqvist is unavailable after rejoining Helsingborgs this week on loan until the

end of the season.

Bolton manager Gary Megson looks set to make 10 changes to his side for the relegation showdown at the JJB Stadium on Sunday.

Gary Cahill is likely to be the only survivor after last night's 1-0 defeat to Sporting Lisbon in the second leg of a UEFA Cup last-16 tie.

Kevin Nolan, Jussi Jaaskelainen, Kevin Davies, Matt Taylor, El Hadji Diouf, Andy O'Brien, Ricardo Gardner, Ivan Campo, Gavin McCann and Gretar Steinsson should all return.

Squads

Wigan: Kirkland, Melchiot, Scharner, Boyce, Edman, Valencia,

Brown, Palacios, Koumas, Heskey, King, Bramble, Kilbane, Sibierski, Taylor, Pollitt, Aghahowa, Bent, Olembe, Skoko.

Bolton: Jaaskelainen, Nolan, Davies, Taylor, Diouf, Gardner, Campo, A O'Brien, McCann, Steinsson, Hunt, Samuel, Meite, Cahill, Giannakopoulos, Helguson, Teymourian, Vaz Te, J O'Brien, Al Habsi.
