Kilbane set for Wigan debut

New signing Kevin Kilbane is included in the Wigan squad for the first time and looks set to make his debut against former club Everton on Saturday.

Striker Svetoslav Todorov may also be handed a first start by Wigan manager Paul Jewell following his arrival from Portsmouth if Henri Camara fails to shake off a hamstring problem.

Camara faces a late fitness check, along with Lee McCulloch who missed last Saturday’s defeat at Portsmouth with a knee problem.

Provisional squad: Kirkland, Boyce, De Zeeuw, Hall, Baines, Valencia, Scharner, Landzaat, Teale, Heskey, Camara, Todorov, Kilbane, Cotterill, Johansson, Jackson, Skoko, Pollitt.
