Wigan keeper Ali Al-Habsi is ineligible to play against his parent club, so Chris Kirland will return in goal.

Petrov tries another effort from distance and this was just awful. His 35 yard volley (yes, his 35 yard volley) is in Row Z. Top marks for ambition though.

Great effort by N'Zogbia! The Frenchman picks up the ball on the right hand side this time and sends a wonderful curling effort narrowly wide of the far post. That's as close as Wigan have come.

Muamba hasn't done his side any favours because since he fouled McCarthy, Bolton have lost their early rhythm and Wigan are getting a foothold in the game.

Maybe Howard Webb feels that he should have booked Muamba for his foul on McCarthy so he is booking every Bolton player in sight. Robinson is in the book now.

Bolton's Gary Cahill is yellow carded for a foul on Gomez. It looked as though Cahill took the ball there...

Wigan sub: Diame on, McCarthy off

Indeed it is, Diame is being prepared for Wigan.

This looks to be the end of James McCarthy's afternoon.

Muamba is looking like a guilty man.

Wigan's James McCarthy has been chopped down from behind and he looks to be in a great deal of pain. The stretcher is being prepared...

Petrov tries his luck from all of 25 yards but the ball flys over. Kirkland is not impressed that his defence gave him the time to do that.

Bolton catch Wigan on the counter attack and Petrov's cross for Elmander, who was sprinting to get to the far post, clashes heads with Figueroa and the game has to stop. That was fast and incisive by Bolton.

But Rodallega goes straight for goal and Jaaskelainen gathers easily.

Di Santo wins a free kick on the left corner of the penalty box. Chance to get the big men forward here for Wigan.

Bolton beginning to dominate and looking the far more likely to score.

Great effort for Kevin Davies who, with his back to goal, somehow hooks a shot inches over the bar. Kirkland was beaten.

Elmander, after seeing a clear Bolton throw go against him, is smacked in the nose. A bad couple of minutes for the Swede.

Wigan, who have been a little less coherant than the visitors in their attacks, are still pushing forward at every opportunity. N'Zogbia loses out to Steinsson on this occasion.

Misunderstanding between Robinson and Petrov sees a Bolton move break down but it is the away side asking the questions.

And Rodallega gets on the end of N'Zogbia's corner with an improvised overhead hook shot, it can be best described as. But Jaaskelainen watches the ball sail over.

Rodallega wins a corner off Zat Knight as Wigan attack Bolton for the first time.
