Wigan striker Emile Heskey is poised to start against former club Liverpool in tomorrow’s Barclays Premiership clash at the JJB Stadium.

Heskey returned from a two-game lay-off with a calf injury by playing the final 60 minutes of last Sunday’s 3-1 defeat at Spurs.

Skipper Arjan de Zeeuw is again a doubt after missing the game at White Hart Lane with a toe injury, while wingers Gary Teale and Antonio Valencia are definitely out with hamstring injuries.

Team (from): Kirkland, Pollitt, Boyce, Webster, Jackson, De Zeeuw, Cotterill, Landzaat, Scharner, Kilbane, Heskey, McCulloch, Camara, Johansson, Todorov, Hall, Wright.
