Wigan manager Chris Hutchings has a number of injury concerns for tomorrow's Barclays Premier League clash with Liverpool at the JJB Stadium.

Already without Emile Heskey and Denny Landzaat, Hutchings finds himself also waiting on Kevin Kilbane (ankle), Ryan Taylor (calf) and Antonio Valencia (hamstring).

Team (from): Kirkland, Melchiot, Granqvist, Bramble, Kilbane, Brown, Scharner, Skoko, Koumas, Sibierski, Bent, Aghahowa, Boyce, Cotterill, Hall, Olembe, Taylor, Valencia, Pollitt.

Liverpool (from): Reina, Finnan, Hyypia, Carragher, Arbeloa, Aurelio, Riise, Pennant, Gerrard, Sissoko, Mascherano, Benayoun, Babel, Kuyt, Crouch, Voronin, Torres, Itandje.

Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez will decide whether to retain Carling Cup hat-trick hero Fernando Torres in his starting line-up.
