Wigan...

[Drago]

Looks like a straight 442. Hopefully it's Fabio at LB and Johnson in midfield.

[Mostar]

Pacheco on the bench. He may get some playing time now that Jonjo is hurt.

[RedReet]

Could be 433. Hope so.

[Lee]

Hopefully we can go 3-0 up early on and give Pacheco some minutes.

[Kenneth]

Maxi, Meireles, Lucas, Aurelio

Assuming Fabio is LM, that shows that we are pretty thin still. Cole not on the bench?

[JohnDoe]

I wonder if it's three at the back or not. It could still be Kelly as the 3rd CB and Johnson/Aurelio wing backs.

With Kelly at CB? Possible I guess.

[Fredo]

Cole has been injured for some time. Yep, Aurelio will start on the left. Seems to be a 4-4-1-1 formation with Suarez or Dirk as the focal point of our attack, with the other one working slightly withdrawn.

[RedReet]

I think it will be a midfield trio of Lucas, Raul and Aurelio. Maxi, Kuyt and Suarez up front.

[Mattshark]

I don't like all this silence around Agger's injury...

Oh, Dzekoooo!!!

It is probably just a minor knock.

Could well be set up like this as well, formation which Kenny used a lot lately.

Looks like my post in the Agger thread about him getting injured for DEnmark has come back to haunt me.

Can't see us keeping a clean sheet here.

Our passing from the back will be key IMO. Not sure that Wigan will try to press high up the pitch though, as they're playing away. That would be pretty bold of them. I would have put my money on them doing that if we were still managed by Dodgson though, but now I'm not so sure.
