Squad sheets: Wigan Athletic v Aston Villa

Since Aston Villa's next three fixtures pitch them against Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester City and Chelsea, you can argue Gérard Houllier has at least pushed open the doors to the last-chance saloon and but for last Saturday's win at West Brom, the Villa manager would be standing his round. Away from Villa Park, Houllier has picked up one point from 15 since his opening win at Wolves. However, he will be facing a Wigan side without eight first-team regulars and who have beaten Villa only once at the DW Stadium – and that was four years and four managers ago.
