Wigan vs Bolton preview

Premiership strugglers Wigan will try to make it to the FA Cup fifth round after sharing spoils with Bolton at Reebok Stadium.

With Premier League survival the main priority at the moment, the Latcis could be forgiven for not giving their best in this clash.

Roberto Martinez has already hinted he will field a weakened line-up as he plans to give fringe players a chance to shine.

Emerson Boyce is set to miss the game with a hamstring injury, while Conor Sammon is ineligible as he was not available for selection in the first match between the two sides.

Bolton, on the other hand, remained well clear of the relegation zone as they beat Everton at home, meaning the Trotters can fully focus on this game.

Owen Coyle is a real fan of the FA Cup and he is expected to field a very strong line-up, so we see a good value in backing Bolton here at odds of 2.70 (17/10) offered by William Hill.

David Wheater will deputize for injured Zat Knight, while Daniel Sturridge is cup-tied. Chung-Yong Lee, Martin Petrov and Fabrice Muamba are pushing for the starting places.
