De Zeeuw fit for Wigan

Wigan captain Arjan de Zeeuw was passed fit for the JJB Stadium visit of Aston Villa despite sitting out training for most of the week with a toe injury.

Manager Paul Jewell still made four changes, in particular with Leighton Baines missing his first game of the season with a calf injury, allowing David Wright to make his first Barclays Premiership start since January 2.
