I've not seen any team news yet but Steve Bruce has indicated that DeRidder, Kilbane and Koumas will play tonight.

If Kapo plays most Wigan fans will be gobsmacked as we've not seen him recently.

Kilbane can either play on the left wing or left back but I suspect SB will keep our defence the same so Kilbane will be on the wing.

Evening Latics ....... Looking forward to a good match at the Lane tonight .... too close to call as Spurs are quite erratic at the mo whereas your lot have been extremely consistent of late ....... Spurs to perhaps just nick-it as they are at home but if it's a draw then I fear the game is yours to win back at the JJB.

May the best team win!

What has happened to Koumas?

I agree, the absence of Koumas is a mystery. Just minutes before the lineups came up, I read an article that Bruce "promised Kevin Kilbane, Jason Koumas and Daniel de Ridder a run-out".
