Kilbane to fill in

Republic of Ireland midfielder Kevin Kilbane is likely to play at left-back for Wigan against Everton tomorrow following the departure of Leighton Baines.

Manager Chris Hutchings has run out of time in his bid to bring in a replacement for the defender before the opening day.

New signing Michael Brown is ruled out through suspension while Ryan Taylor remains sidelined with a shin injury.

Team (from): Kirkland, Melchiot, Boyce, Bramble, Hall, Kilbane, Valencia, Koumas, Skoko, Landzaat, Cotterill, Sibierski, Camara, Heskey, Aghahowa, Nash, Pollitt, Folan, Granqvist.
