Wigan team news
Winger Antonio Valencia and striker Mido both return to Wigan's squad for tomorrow's visit of West Ham.
The pair have not played since February 7 at home to Fulham when Valencia limped off with the recurrence of a hamstring injury and Mido was forced off with a groin problem.
Jason Koumas also comes back into contention after missing Saturday's defeat to Chelsea with a thigh injury while fellow midfielder Ben Watson is available again after a one-match suspension.
Team (from): Kirkland, Melchiot, Scharner, Bramble, Figueroa, Cattermole, Watson, N'Zogbia, Valencia, Kapo, Zaki, Mido, Kingson, Pollitt, Edman, Brown, Boyce, Rodallega, Sibierski, Koumas.
West Ham team news
West Ham will be without midfielder Valon Behrami for the Barclays Premier League trip to Wigan tomorrow.
Behrami was carried off the pitch with an oxygen tank after badly twisting his knee in Sunday's win over Manchester City.
His absence offers an easy route back into the side for Mark Noble who missed that match through suspension, but James Collins (hamstring), Luis Boa Morte (groin), Kieron Dyer (calf), Danny Gabbidon (stomach/back) and Dean Ashton (ankle) remain sidelined.
