Bruce has options

Wigan manager Steve Bruce again has virtually a full-strength squad to choose from for tomorrow’s Barclays Premier League clash with Manchester City at Eastlands.

Bruce’s only absentee is right-back Ryan Taylor who has a rib injury, with fears he may have stripped part of a muscle away from a bone.

Following last week’s 2-0 home victory over rock-bottom Derby, there is every likelihood Bruce will name an unchanged side.

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