Welcome to our coverage of Wigan's rearranged Premier League match against Aston Villa at the DW Stadium. Kick-off is at 19:45 UK time, and our pre-match coverage begins 45 minutes before the game.

Di Santo goes close with a flicked effort, but it just goes over the bar.

Mind you, he'll have a tough night if N'Zogbia is on form.

Great tackle by Baker on N'Zogbia. Took his time against a tricky player and won the ball with a peach of a challenge.

Good cross by Cuellar, but Alcaraz blocks Agbonlahor's shot.

Scrappy start, with both teams losing possession in the middle of a rather bobbly pitch.

And we're off at the DW Stadium.

Curtis Davies, the Aston Villa defender could be on his way to Leicester City, with Sven Goran Erikson in talks over a loan move.

15 minutes until kick off, any predictions? Villa have only won once away from home, but Wigan have only won twice at home.

Wigan should play in a 4-4-1-1 with Di Santo dropping off Rodallega, while Villa will play a 4-3-2-1 with Darren Bent, making his first away appearance for the Villains, flanked by Ashley Young and Gabriel Agbonlahor.

A bit of history in this game now, these teams have met ten times in the Premier League, Wigan have won four, Villa have won three and there have been three draws. 23 goals have been scored in those ten games.

It's a big game at the bottom of the table, with Wigan on 22 points in 18th and Villa on 25 in 16th. A win for the home side tonight would put Villa's city-rivals Birmingham in the relegation zone.

Jean Makoun makes his Aston Villa debut tonight after his £6million transfer from Lyon. He should be a good signing for Villa; lots of big-game experience in the Champions League and will add some bite to the middle of the pitch.

Gary Caldwell is suspended after his sending off against Arsenal on Saturday while Antolin Alcaraz is injured. Martinez has James McCarthy back after a three month injury spell which will be a big boost to the Spaniard.

Friedel; Dunne, Cuellar, Collins, Baker; Downing, Young, Makoun, Reo-Coker, Agbonlahor; Bent. SUBS: Marshall, Pires, Albrighton, Petrov, Herd, Delfouneso, Heskey.
