Preview

Latics will be looking to progress to the Fifth Round of the FA Cup sponsored by eon at the second attempt tonight, to set up a Fifth Round tie at Craven Cottage.

The original game 10 days ago saw Latics claw back a 2-0 half time deficit with goals from Jason Scotland and Ben Watson.

Team News

The Latics manager still has injury problems with Chris Kirkland remaining on the sidelines (collarbone) along with captain Mario Melchiot (nose and neck).

Wigan are will also not be able to offer a debut to new striker Victor Moses, who is cup-tied for the fourth round replay having already played in the competition for Crystal Palace.  Marcelo Moreno will also not feature as he awaits paperwork for his visa and work permit.

Notts County should have Ricky Ravenhill available.

The midfielder took a blow to the head during Saturday's 2-0 win over Barnet and was taken off after 30 minutes, but is expected to play.

Manager

The Wigan Athletic manager is well aware of the threat that tonight's opponents posses.

"Notts County will be full of confidence with nothing to lose, wanting to enjoy the occasion and that makes for a dangerous situation from our point-of-view," said Martinez. 

"We need to be professional, know what's needed in the game and remember how the first game went.

"Everyone in the squad has to be ready, because we've also got another 16 games to go in the Premier League which are paramount. These games are important in getting everyone ready for the end of the campaign and making sure we're all sharp."
