Sunderland v Wigan
PREMIER LEAGUE
Venue: Stadium of Light
Date: Saturday, 14 March
Kick-off: 1500 GMT
Sunderland will be without Kieran Richardson who starts a two-match ban after picking up 10 bookings.
Defender Anton Ferdinand (hamstring/back) and midfielder Teemu Tainio (knee) are doubts, while Nyron Nosworthy (hamstring) is still not fit.
Antoine Sibierski is Wigan manager Steve Bruce's only injury doubt.
Sibierski pulled up in training yesterday with a hamstring problem but new South Korean midfielder Won-Hee Cho could come into contention.
