Martinez' Wigan are still too close to the drop zone for their own comfort

Wigan manager Roberto Martinez has virtually a fully-fit squad to choose from for the Barclays Premier League visit of Stoke.

January signings Victor Moses and Marcelo Moreno both made brief substitute appearances in Saturday's 1-1 draw at Sunderland but it may still be too early to hand either their first start.

Midfielder Steven Gohouri is the only absentee with a hamstring problem.

Stoke captain Abdoulaye Faye could make his return to first-team action.

Faye, who has been suffering with a back problem, failed a late fitness test before the 3-0 victory over Blackburn on Saturday but could recover in time to play at the DW Stadium.

Andy Wilkinson received stitches to a head injury in the Blackburn game but is available for selection.

Wigan Athletic squad: Kirkland, Bramble, Caldwell, Scharner, Boyce, Figueroa, N'Zogbia, Diame, McCarthy, Thomas, Rodallega, Moreno, Moses, Melchiot, Scotland, Sinclair, Stojkovic, Gomez.

Stoke City squad: Sorensen, Huth, Abdoulaye Faye, Wilkinson, Amdy Faye, Higginbotham, Collins, Lawrence, Sidibe, Whitehead, Delap, Diao, Kitson, Beattie, Etherington, Fuller, Tuncay, Pugh, Whelan, Simonsen, Begovic.
