Michael Jacobs set to miss out for Wigan
Wigan winger Michael Jacobs is likely to miss the visit of promotion rivals Burton through injury.
The 24-year-old left the DW Stadium on crutches with his knee in a brace after coming off just 14 minutes into the victory over Shrewsbury.
Will Grigg replaced him at the weekend and so could earn a starting place as a result.
On-loan striker Alex Revell will keep his spot up front after scoring on his home debut to make it two wins in the two matches he has played since his arrival from Cardiff.
Burton will check on Shane Cansdell-Sherriff after the central defender came off with a knock during the defeat at Bury.
Robbie Weir returns from suspension to bolster the manager's midfield options following a three-match absence.
Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink could have Darius Charles, who has been out with a broken leg, available for the first time after the defender came through an hour of a reserve team game recently.
However, on-loan Wolves winger Zeli Ismail is out for a further six weeks after suffering a setback in his recovery from injury.
