Dilemma for Bruce

Wigan manager Steve Bruce is set for a tough decision in attack ahead of the Barclays Premier League home game against West Ham.

Bruce played debutant Marlon King alongside Marcus Bent and Emile Heskey in the defeat at Middlesbrough but one of them will miss out tomorrow after Bruce confirmed he will revert to a two-man strike force.

Swedish full-back Erik Edman is Bruce’s only injury doubt having sustained a calf problem, while Norwegian defender Erik Hagen is awaiting international clearance following his loan move from Zenit St Petersburg.

Team (from): Kirkland, Melchiot, Bramble, Scharner, Kilbane, Valencia, Brown, Palacios, Taylor, Bent, Heskey, King, Aghahowa, Boyce, Edman, Figueroa, Granqvist, Koumas, Olembe, Cotterill, Sibierski, Skoko, Pollitt.
